Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could show you what you want to see
And take you where you want to be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound (hey! hey! woo!)
I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound (woo! yeah!)
We're safe and sound
Oh, we're safe and sound
We're safe and sound
I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You'll still be standing right next to me
You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet underground
I know that we'll be safe and sound
Oh, we're safe and sound, yeah
We're safe and sound
Oh, safe and sound
We're safe and sound
(Safe and sound)
Hold your ground
(Hold your ground)
We're safe and sound
(Safe and sound)
Hold your ground
(Hold your ground)
We're safe and sound
