Song:Safe And Sound

Song:Safe And Sound
 
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone has passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window
Darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Ooooo, OoooOooo,
Ooooo, OoooOooo,
Ooooo, OoooOooo,
Ooooo, OoooOooo,
Ooooo, OoooOooo,
Ooooo, OoooOooo
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo

Wa-oh! Yeah!
Stop, Hiding out in the shadows
Scared to show the world you exist
Don't lock yourself in the darkness
The world is so much brighter than this
Yeah, if you never take a shot
You're never gonna win
So turn it all around
And break down the walls, whoa
Don't be afraid to let them fall
Break down the walls
Whoa
And you can dare to have it all
Come on and give it everything you can
Take a chance, make a stand
and break, break, break down the walls
B-b-b-break down the walls, yeah
Change
You can find it inside it
You don't have the strength that it takes
Oh with dreams
You can twist every system
You finally look it straight in the face
'Cause if you're never take a shot, you're never gonna win
So find a way somehow
To break down the walls, whoa
Don't be afraid to let them fall
Break down the walls, whoa
And you can dare to have it all
Come on and give it everything you can
Take a chance, make a stand
and break, break, break down the walls
Don't wanna watch them tumble down
Feel all the doubt
Just crumble now
And let the light come pouring in
In!
Just break down the walls, whoa
Don't be afraid to let them fall
Break down the walls, whoa
And you can dare to have it all
Come on and give it everything you can
Take a chance, make a stand,
and break, break, break down the walls, whoa
Break down the walls, whoa
Break down the walls, whoa
Come on and take a chance, make a stand
and break, break, break down the walls!
