A Safe Place to Land (feat. John Legend)

Lyrics

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
 When the 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 a beast
 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
 Oh, imagine yourself in a building
 Up in flames, being told to stand still
 The window's wide open, this is leap is on faith
 You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will
 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
 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
 You're scared but you're strong enough
 Be the light in the dark of this danger
 'Til the sun comes up
 '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
