Safe Haven
Clare Dunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's fallin' apart
And every day feels a little more dark
And there's fear as far as you can see, mmm
And I need a refuge, somewhere to run to
As long as I'm with you
Home is where I'll be
No safer place I can imagine
From all pain, all the trouble
All the noise, all the trauma
You welcome me like a refugee
Any time I need shelter from the storm
A place where I can run
You are my safe haven, uh huh
Yeah, my safe haven, uh huh
Just like his eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches me wherever I go
And when my heart is heavy with the weight
Of this unforgiving place
I look to the sky and I know I'll be alright
'Cause you're my safe haven, uh huh
No safer place I can imagine
From all pain, all the trouble
All the noise, all the trauma
You welcome me like a refugee
Any time I need shelter from the storm
A place where I can run
You are my safe haven, uh huh
Yeah, my safe haven, uh huh
Comfort and mercy
I am so thankful for how you love me
'Cause you're my safe haven, uh huh
No safer place I can imagine
From all pain, all the trouble
All the noise, all the trauma
You welcome me like a refugee
Any time I need shelter from the storm
A place where I can run
You are my safe haven, uh huh
Yeah, my safe haven, uh huh
The lyrics to Clare Dunn's song "Safe Haven" depict the singer's need for a refuge and a sense of safety in a world that feels overwhelming and filled with fear. The world they describe is falling apart, growing darker every day, and fear seems to surround them. In the midst of this chaos, the singer finds solace in a relationship, suggesting that as long as they are with their partner, they feel at home and protected.
The song compares this partner to a safe haven, a place of refuge where the singer can find comfort and peace. The partner is described as someone who welcomes the singer like a refugee, providing shelter from the storm whenever needed. This suggests that the partner offers not only physical safety but also emotional support, offering a place to run to in times of trouble.
The lyrics also bring in religious imagery, comparing the partner's love and protection to the watchful eye of a higher power. Like the reassurance of knowing that God watches over the sparrow, the singer feels that their partner watches over them wherever they go. This adds a layer of spiritual comfort and reassurance to the lyrics, further emphasizing the sense of safety and sanctuary that the partner provides.

God never gives you more than you can handle... When the road seems hard return to your roots because that is where the safe haven lies...pushing boundries for fame and fortune can be viewed as growth but your soul is worth more towards happiness, great song always be you because fans love real... When it gets rough slow down and tour small venues!!!
