Chris Cornell Safe and Sound song lyrics

Think of a time

When morning will come

And you will wake up without the feeling

That half the world has gone insane

You'll open your eyes

Reading your paper, a drink from your cup

No one was burning down the town while you were sleeping

I've never seen but I believe

In a promised land

Why can't we pull this together?

One and all, now and forever

Why can't we pull this together?

We can say we finally found a world around us safe and sound

Think of a place that you could believe in whatever you want

Not keep it secret

Have to risk your life just to be yourself

A place where you'll walk safely no matter your color or age

More than the greed of you and me

Decides the fate of the day

I'd never seen but I believe

In a promised land

Why can't we pull this together?

One and all, now and forever

Why can't we pull this together?

We can say we finally found a world around us safe and sound

I'd rather see you set it free than watch the curtains coming down

Think of a life that won't take the breath from somebody else

One where you're seeking more than yourself

Why can't we pull this together?

One and all, now and forever

Why can't we pull this together?

We can say we finally found a world around us safe and sound

Why can't we pull this together?

Now and forever

Pull this together

We can say we finally found a world around us safe and sound

I'd rather see you set it free than watch the curtains coming down...
