Dreams of Safety Lyrics

Cold waters dark and deep they cross with trembling hearts

Dreams of safety guide their way through shadows that expand

Every step feels endless the weight of sorrow showing

Behind them destruction looms; ahead an unknown land

We see the headlines we hear the cries

But do we look into their eyes?

Let's find control but lead with care

Hold out our hands; their pain's laid bare

Compassion's stronger than the fear

We've got to help; we're all right here

Bound by borders invisible lines they're tracing

Searching for space to breathe with hope that slips away

While numbers stir debates lives hang in quiet silence

Decisions press upon the world leaving them no say

They risk it all the smallest chance

A safer place a second glance

Let's find control but lead with care

Hold out our hands; their pain's laid bare

Compassion's stronger than the fear

We've got to help; we're all right here

Life is a lottery we don't choose where we are born

The luck of place decides the path or leaves us lost and torn

Imagine fleeing everything you've loved with nothing in your hand

Hoping strangers see your worth and help you understand

A mother clutches children close her strength begins to fade

A father dreams of safety though his hands feel weathered frayed

Each face reflects a story with hopes and fears the same

The human thread connects us all; it burns within the flame

So as they reach the shorelines broken but alive

It's not just pity—it's humanity that must thrive

We're all walking roads we didn't choose

Together we're stronger; we've got less to lose

Let's find control but lead with care

Hold out our hands; their pain's laid bare

Compassion's stronger than the fear

We've got to help; we're all right here
