Safe Here Lyrics - Craig Cardiff

VERSE 1 

Our words came out sharp like edges of knives 

When all we needed was to talk things through 

This is the part where we learn that love is 

Not what we say but what we do 

VERSE 2 

This is my country 

This is your country too 

There are so many things we need to change 

It'd be too easy to let them overwhelm us 

It'd be too easy to let things stay the same 

CHORUS 

Am I Safe Here (yes you're safe here) 

Am I needed here (yes you're safe here) 

VERSE 3 

They convinced us that this was not our problem 

None of our concern 

And then they chiselled and chiselled untill everything we loved and everything we earned was taken away - we let them take it all away 

VERSE 4 

This is my country 

This is your country too 

There are so many things we need to change 

It'd be too easy to let it overwhelm us 

It'd be too easy to let things stay the same 

CHORUS 

Am I Safe Here (yes you're safe here) 

Am I needed here (yes you're safe here) 

REFRAIN 

While we stood and argued 

about the cost (of it) 

Look how we let it slip out the backdoor 

What was the price of what we lost? 

VERSE 5 

You won't remember any of these meetings 

Any of the things you did or did not own 

This is the part where we learn that love is 

Not having to do this on your own. 

VERSE 6 

This is my country 

This is your country too 

There are so many things we need to change 

It'd be too easy to let it overwhelm us 

It'd be too easy to let things stay the same 

CHORUS 

Am I Safe Here (yes you're safe here) 

Am I needed here (yes you're safe here) 

Am I Loved Here (yes you're loved here) 

Am I needed here (yes you're safe here)
