Safe Here - Craig Cardiff

When all we needed was to talk things through

This is the part where we learn that love is

Not what we say but what we do

This is my country

This is your country too

There are so many things we need to change

It’d be too easy to let them overwhelm us

It’d be too easy to let things stay the same

Am I Safe Here (yes you’re safe here)

Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here)

They convinced us that this was not our problem

None of our concern

And then they chiselled and chiselled untill everything we loved and everything

we earned was taken away — we let them take it all away

This is my country

This is your country too

There are so many things we need to change

It’d be too easy to let it overwhelm us

It’d be too easy to let things stay the same

Am I Safe Here (yes you’re safe here)

Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here)

While we stood and argued

about the cost (of it)

Look how we let it slip out the backdoor

What was the price of what we lost?

You won’t remember any of these meetings

Any of the things you did or did not own

This is the part where we learn that love is

Not having to do this on your own.

This is my country

This is your country too

There are so many things we need to change

It’d be too easy to let it overwhelm us

It’d be too easy to let things stay the same

Am I Safe Here (yes you’re safe here)

Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here)

Am I Loved Here (yes you’re loved here)

Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here)
