*Safe Enough to Dream*

[singer A] You can lay it down You can lay it down You don’t have to hold the thunder Just to prove you’re still around You’ve been smiling like a sunrise With a midnight in your chest But even rivers need a shoreline Even weary hearts need rest [transition] [singer B] They didn’t need a reason They didn’t need a name They bloomed inside the leaving And were not ashamed They didn’t ask the morning If it intended to stay They opened where the ground was And gave themselves the day [transition] [singer A] There’s no shame in needing cover No shame in needing time Some walls built around your spirit Were not made to keep out light You can lay it down, lay it down Let the thunder roll on by You don’t have to be the mountain Just to touch the open sky You can breathe again, breathe again Let your soul come back around Not every wall is made of sorrow Some are mercy standing ground So lay it down, lay it down You are safe here now [transition] [singer B] No keeping, no claiming No proof and no defense The light was only passing And passing was the gift Time is the cost Not the reward Presence is plenty Nothing is owed Love is not lesser Because it must end A moment is whole Before we defend it No keeping, no claiming No future to control The light touched every living thing And made the moment whole [transition] [singer A] Somewhere when a soul needs singing It needs a place to be A room to lay its armor down And wings enough to dream What the eyes begin to carry What the heart begins to hear Is the ring of something living Coming softly back from fear You can lay it down, lay it down Let the thunder roll on by You don’t have to be the mountain Just to touch the open sky You can breathe again, breathe again Let your soul come back around Not every wall is made of sorrow Some are mercy standing ground So lay it down, lay it down You are safe here now [transition] [singer B] We were never asked to hold it We were only asked to see How everything becomes itself Then gently sets us free We stood where the light was passing And let that be enough [transition] [singer A] Lay it down Lay it down You are safe enough to dream
