Chris Cornell - Safe And Sound Lyrics

He's kind of that Elvis vulnerability.

Just as awesome as singing can be. Thank you Chris.
For every moment you've brought to us until now.

Forever my idol Chris!!!!

Chris is my shepherd, I shall not want

Chris brought me here,
And I thank him. You are truly an Angelic voice .

ah FUCK! I tend to end up here and after all this time since his passing it still breaks my heart.....

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 the town
While you were sleeping

I've never seen but I believe
In a promised land

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 around us
Safe and sound

Think of a place
Where 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've never seen but I believe
In a promised land

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 around us
Safe and sound

I'd rather see you setting free
Than watch the curtains coming down

Think of a life you won't take a breath
From somebody else
One where you're seeking
More than yourself

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 us
Safe and sound

Why can't we pull this together
(Pull this together)
One and all, now and forever
(Now and forever)
Why can't we pull this together

We can say we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound

I'd rather see you setting free
Than watch the curtains coming down

ty so much for the lyrics .. this means so much to me .

love this song so much, RIP Chris :(

I remember when I saw him for the first time live in April of 2007at the House of Blues in Boston. Before he performed this song he talked about the Virginia Tech massacres that had just happened that week and he said. " I have been searching for a song that can get us through a really shitty time. Just take care of each other." That is how caring and sincere this man was and his spirit will live on through his great masterpieces of music. RIP Chris you are missed but your music will help us heal the wounds of loss. Miss you man.

Thanks 4 sharing

Such a relevant and beautiful song in an ever-increasingly messed up world. Think of a time when morning will come
And you will wake up
Without the feeling that half the world
Has gone insaneYou'll open your eyes
Reading your paper, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down the town
While you were sleepingI've never seen but I believe
In a promised landWhy can't we pull this together
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this togetherWe can say we finally found a world around us
Safe and soundThink of a place
Where you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret
Have to risk your life just to be yourselfA 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 dayI've never seen but I believe
In a promised landWhy can't we pull this together
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this togetherWe can say we finally found a world around us
Safe and soundI'd rather see you setting free
Than watch the curtains coming downThink of a life you won't take a breath

R.I.P. Chris

So Sad, im in shock! RIP HERO

RIP 😥

This album is bad ass...But not as good as his first solo album "Euphoria Morning".

@tooala23 ...Are ye calling Chris a ball-tingler...? >;P

I was mad at him when Audioslave broke up but this ALMOST makes up for it, it's that good.

Almost as good as 'Seasons'....almost.

nicholas bronowski not close to as good as that song!

best song
