Safe And Sound

Chris Cornell

1. 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 time while you were sleeping
   I've never seen but I believe
   In a promised land

R: 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 that's safe and sound

2. 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

R: Why can't we pull this together...

*: I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down

3. Think of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else
   One where you're seeking more than yourself

R: Why can't we pull this together... (2x)

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