safe

I want everything to be safe

no chance of conflict

no need to run

I need to believe in the faith

that tells me better times

have just begun

I don't want to fight anymore

I want it to be like it was before

when all was peaceful

and I had friends

that's what it was like back then

I want everything to be good

back to normal

the way it should be

like in my old neighborhood

where no one was threatened

and we could feel free

now, I don't need to live in the past

I just want security to last

in times of trouble

nearing its end

that's what it was like back then

          now is the time

          when everything falls apart

          I feel my broken heart

          every morning and night

I want everything to be safe

not like it is right now

I want to go back

I really would appreciate

a sense of safety

I currently lack

I'm through with pretending

that these hard times are ending

it used to be good

and it could be again

that's what it was like back then
