Chris Cornell Safe And Sound 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 time while you were sleeping
I've never seen but I believe in a promised land

Why can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and sound

Think of a place 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 besides the fate of the day
I've never seen but I believe in a promised land

Why can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and sound


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

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

Why can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and sound

Why can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and sound

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