Bareilles, Sara - A Safe Place To Land 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 monster
You know the famine so well, you never met the feast
And home is the belly of the 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

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
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
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
'Til the sun comes up
'Til the sun comes up

    I do immigrant justice work full time, and I knew by the time the first chorus ended that this was about immigrants on the border and I LOST IT. I'm a puddle of tears. When John sang "imagine being in a building on fire and told to stand still." That's EXACTLY what we're doing to people seeking refuge. We must and can do better.

    H.... M....

    Bless you & your work.

    just fucking incredible! Thank you for making art to lessen our pain <3

  86. J.... R....

    Grammy's deciding body really doesn't know what they're doing. Two decades in and she still don't have an award. Nominations is not enough to recognize her contributions, work and passion for music. Beats me, why do people who can't sing even half as good as her have rewards and she don't. Maybe in another lifetime Sara, when everybody can hear what your heart is saying, till then, you will always be one of the unrecognized bests.

  87. T.... ....

    Be light on the darkness of strangers
