My Current Top Local Song

It’s from the local TV series “Spirits”. I was driving home last night when this song started playing on the radio. Towards the end, when Rico Blanco kept repeating the line “you’ll be safe here”, I got a little teary-eyed. This song is like a reassuring pat or an arm around my shoulder.

You’ll Be Safe Here
[ Rivermaya ]

Nobody knows
Just why we’re here.
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance?
At the right place,
At the right time,
Two roads intertwine.

And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives,
To make us
Fuel and fire,
Then know—
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be.

(Chorus)
Close your eyes,
Dry your tears,
‘Coz when nothing seems clear—
You’ll be safe here.
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears,
Weary heart…
You’ll be safe here.

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried?
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high.
But love was all that we were on...
We belong.

And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union,
And why it still stands.
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe.

(Chorus)
When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere,
You’ll be safe here.
When nobody hears you scream,
I’ll scream with you—
You’ll be safe here.

Save your eyes
From your tears,
When everything’s unclear,
You’ll be safe here.
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears,
Wounded heart…

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere,
You’ll be safe here.
When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you—
You’ll be safe here.

In my arms
Through the long cold night,
Sleep tight.
You’ll be safe here.
When no one understands,
I’ll believe.
You’ll be safe,
You’ll be safe,
You’ll be safe here….

Put your heart in my hands,
You’ll be safe here.
