VERSE 1 Our words came out sharp like edges of knives When all we needed was to talk things through This is the part where we learn that love is Not what we say but what we do VERSE 2 This is my country This is your country too There are so many things we need to change It’d be too easy to let them overwhelm us It’d be too easy to let things stay the same CHORUS Am I Safe Here (yes you’re safe here) Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here) VERSE 3 They convinced us that this was not our problem None of our concern And then they chiselled and chiselled until everything we loved and everything we earned was taken away – we let them take it all away VERSE 4 This is my country This is your country too There are so many things we need to change It’d be too easy to let it overwhelm us It’d be too easy to let things stay the same CHORUS Am I Safe Here (yes you’re safe here) Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here) REFRAIN While we stood and argued About the cost (of it) Look how we let it slip out the backdoor What was the price of what we lost? VERSE 5 You won’t remember any of these meetings Any of the things you did or did not own This is the part where we learn that love is Not having to do this on your own. VERSE 6 This is my country This is your country too There are so many things we need to change It’d be too easy to let it overwhelm us It’d be too easy to let things stay the same CHORUS Am I Safe Here (yes you’re safe here) Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here) Am I Loved Here (yes you’re loved here) Am I needed here (yes you’re safe here)
