Safe
(c) 2000 Christy Snow

I was so afraid that if just once I slowed down
the world would come crashing to my feet
to keep it all afloat and keep the balls up in the air
the facade I just couldn't see
now to lay this all to rest in peace to invest
and let the pieces fall where they may

CHORUS
Cause I am say inside myself
looking now to no one else
for the answers only I can testify
safe inside myself
for the first time I have felt
that alone or not I will be alright
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be alright

It took thirty years but now I see the little girl behind the tears
I reach out for her hand and she takes mine
now I am complete I am where I'm supposed to be
I have and am enough yea I'm all right
sometimes I sing these words to convince myself
I'm told to first pretend until I believe
that I am fine, I am fine, I am alright
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I cannot be all things to everyone
and what's more, I don't want to be
not perfect in every test but enough
none the less
if for no one else for me
CHORUS
I am fine, I am fine, I am alright X 2
I am fine, you are fine, we are alright
