I could lift you up
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

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 -safe and sound-
We're safe and sound -safe and sound-
We're safe and sound -on your ground-
We're safe and sound -safe and sound-

I could show you love
In a tidal-wave of mystery
You'll still be standing next to me

You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet under ground
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound

-Safe and sound, safe and sound-
-On your ground, safe and sound-

I could lift you up
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

I could lift you up
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
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound -safe and sound-
We're safe and sound -safe and sound-
We're safe and sound -on your ground-
We're safe and sound -safe and sound-
We're safe and sound
