Safe From The World

     
 

I had watched the evening news

It was nothing but the blues
So I went outside to breathe and my soul to search

And the sun was going down on my sleepy little town
As I watched it fade I felt like I'd been to church

 

I just watched a beautiful sunset

It was so full of grace

It made me feel sad and helpless

Tears were on my face

Knowing somewhere in the distance

Another horror flag unfurled

And I wish I could keep the children safe from the world

 

Safe from the hungry politicians

Safe from the lies and false contritions

Safe from the cultist religions

Safe from the blind superstitions

Safe from the unholy wars

With people dying and nothing more

Oh I wish I could keep the children safe from the world

 

I have food on my table
I've got a roof over my head

I have people who love me

A sweet woman who shares my bed

I have everything, everything of any worth

And I'm lucky just to be here breathin' on planet Earth

Feeling safe from the evils that surround us

Safe from the turmoil unboundless

Safe from the dangers that astound us

Safe from the ones that haven't found us

Safe from the wounds that will not mend

And all the fears that never end
For a moment I had the illusion I was safe from the world

 

All things change and they change so fast
What was the future is now the past
That which is first becomes last somehow

If I've learned anything I've learned this
Give unto others what is hers and his

And live for the moment because all there is, is now

 

And anything can happen

Anything can happen
Anything can happen

Anything, anything, anything, anything

Safe from the world

Anything can happen

Safe from the world

I was caught up in the confusion

For just the moment I had the illusion
I was safe from the world


It Is What It Is
