Craig Cardiff - Safe Here

words came out sharp like edges and knives

when all we needed was to talk things through

this is a process of learning that love is

not what you say, oh but what you 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 it overwhelm us

it'd be too easy to let things stay the same

i said…

am i safe here?

yes you are safe here

am i needed here?

yes you are needed here; yes you are; yes you are

they told us how this was not a problem

how this was none of our concern

then they chiselled and chiselled and chiselled

till everything you loved

and everything you'd earned

was taken away from you

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 are safe here

am i needed here?

yes you are needed here; yes you are; yes you are

and while we stood around and talked about it

they took it all away

while we argued about the cost,

they brought it back, and said here you go

now pay pay pay

we won't remember any of these meetings

we won't remember the things we did or did own

this is the part where you throw your hands in the air

i said, i thought I could, but I can't do it on my 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 us overwhelm us

it'd be too easy to let things stay the same

i said….

am i safe here?

yes you are safe here

am i needed here?

yes you are needed here; yes you are; yes you are
