A Safe Place To Land Lyrics - Sara Bareilles

[Verse 1: Sara Bareilles] 

When holding your breath is safer than breathing 

When letting go is braver than keeping 

When innocent words turn to lies 

And you can't hide by closing your eyes 

[Verse 2: John Legend] 

When pain is all that they offer 

Like the kiss from the lips of a monster 

You know the famine so well, but never met the feast 

When home is the belly of the beast

[Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)] 

The ocean is wild and over your head 

And the boat beneath you is sinking 

Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have 

So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight 

Surely someone will reach out a hand 

And show you a safe place to land 

[Verse 3: John Legend & Sara Bareilles (Both)] 

Oh, imagine yourself in a building 

Up in flames, being told to stand still 

The window's wide open, this leap is on faith 

You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will 

[Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Sara Bareilles)] 

The ocean is wild and over your head 

And the boat beneath you is sinking 

Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have 

So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight 

Surely someone will reach out a hand 

And show you a safe place to land

[Chorus 2: Sara Bareilles & John Legend] 

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger 

Little scared, but you're strong enough 

Be the light in the dark of this danger 

'Til the sun comes up 

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger 

Little scared but you're strong enough 

Be the light in the dark of this danger 

'Til the sun comes up 

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger 

Little scared but you're strong enough 

Be the light in the dark of this danger 

'Til the sun comes up 

[Post-Chorus- Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)] 

'Til the sun comes up (Oh) 

'Til the sun comes up ('Til the sun) 

'Til the sun comes up (Ooh) 

'Til the sun ('Til the sun) 

Comes up
