It's An Ocean!, their first full-length release, features ten original songs by songwriter and band front man Scott Phillips (his musical partner Shane Maze helped co-write the marketably poppy hit "Don't Let Go"). The rich harmonies blend seamlessly as Scott, Shane, David and Jeff tickle the listener's ears with their craft. Each song delves into different life experiences -- some hard, some light, some highly romanticized and unrealistic. But each piece is sure to please and touch different emotional nerves.
Whether performing at festivals and auditoriums or leading worship at churches and college campuses, Good Little Giants appeals to any age, any stage!
Safe
Good Little Giants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seen far too much
Living and dying
To know we aint through
Its a
Rough road ahead
Trouble round every bend
But im making this promise to you
Dont you worry about anything
Rest your weary head darling
We'll make it okay
If I could breath for you bleed for you
Baby, id find a way
Cause im gonna keep you safe
Ooooooooo
Vultures over head
They cant havw us yet
Nothing in this workd can tear us apart
The last breath in my lungs
The last word on my toungue
From the very last beat of this heart
That im gonna find a way home
Dont you worry about anything
Rest your weary head darling
We'll make it okay
If I could breath for you bleed for you
Baby, id find a way
Cause im gonna keep you safe
Oh oh oh oh oh
Safe
Oo oo oo oo oo
What kind of man would i be
If i dont try?
If i dont lay down my life?
What kind of workd would this be
If we dont fight?
If we hust lay down and die
Im gonna find a way home
Dont you worry about anything
Rest your weary head darling
We'll make it okay
If I could breath for you bleed for you baby
Ill be a shield a for you shelter you baby
If I could breath for you bleed for you baby
Id find a way
Cause im gonna keep you...
