“Safe and Sound” – Chris Cornell
Chords by Joan’s Genius 2009
Intro:
Verse 1:
Think of a time when morning will come and you will wake up
Without the feeling that half the world has gone insane
You'll open your eyes, reading your paper, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down time while you were sleeping
I've never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Chorus:
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
Verse 2:
Think of a place that you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret, have to risk your life just to be yourself
A place where you'll walk safely, no matter your color or age
More than the greed of you and me decides the fate of the day
I'd never seen but I believe
In a promised land
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down
Verse 3:
Think of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else
One where you're seeking more than yourself
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Outro:
I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down
