You’ll be safe here

You'll be safe here…………..

Nobody knows
Just why we’re here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine

And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be

Chorus:

Close your eyes
Dry your tears
‘Coz when nothing seems clear
You’ll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You’ll be safe here

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong

And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe

Chorus:

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere
You’ll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you
You’ll be safe here

Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything’s unclear
You’ll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere
You’ll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you
You’ll be safe here

In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You’ll be safe here

When no one understands
I’ll believe
You’ll be safe,
You’ll be safe
You’ll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You’ll be safe here

This is one of the few songs of late that had touched my heart. Not so much because that its singsong or that it was nicely played in Star Channel. Though I did get impressed that it was there.. I heard of the song way before it was being played there.. Now i did wonder why it almost made me cry.. "YOU'LL BE SAFE HERE"

Was if for me for someone i care about? Was it because even after so many years drifting apart I know that we are drifting towards each other after all? That all roads leads to you after all? So smoothly so carelessly so unintentionally like it was there all along? I wonder? Or could be the other one? Or the other one? Or the other one? Frankly I have no idea but as i revel in the song and almost weep by the message it aims to relay… I ask…..Am I really safe here? Am I really safe now?

 

I understood fairly very early on that I would be alone and had stood in that belief until you and you and you came along….. though now light fading on the dreams that I could change the world alone and on my own two hands .. … I am touched .. by the same words ..

SAVE your eyes from your tears ..  I do remember those words from some other instance of comfort to my aching heart……..

Remember how we laughed until we cried at the most stupid things …   seems like it wasn't stupid after all .. not when the fondest memories now rise from those most stupid instances. Love was all that we were on after all.. and though love was never the problem.. I ask now? when did the light disappear for us?

From the sheer weight of your doubts and fears … I dont know anyone that knows the weight in my heart feels.. all those doubts and all those fears but you tried to hold it nonetheless. Not knowing it will hurt you and harm you.. if that is not love unconditional I dont know what is…. I didnt know then as I dont know now……. Why didnt I see that light fading and go.

When the light disappears and when this world's insincere … ahhh why do i have to wait that long for me to realize what i truly need and want.. I dont know but here I am floundering still.. wallowing in this fading light that is called my life.. insincere.. flashy… loud… everything there and yet… empty…. empty ..empty… wasted…

As I listen over and over to this song thinking of you.. I wonder.. why this song is significant at all… was it the words? was it the thought? was it that I am lost forever only because I choose to be lost forever? I know if I but open my eyes I will see that light… If I but turn around and look,…. that light would be blindingly bright…… If I could but turn around open my eyes. I am lost forever, I know!!!. And even as I can feel the light, I still cry out for light. Asking for the light…. Asking for the light as bright as day and wondering .. do i need a candle to see this light……I knowingly turned away from the light not knowing I am turning away…….

 

So I will listen and wonder and do nothing but wonder because thats the only thing I can do. Maybe you would save me… maybe you would make me safe …maybe ……. for the meantime .. I will listen to the message of the song loud and clear .. YOU'LL BE SAFE HERE!!!
