Lyrics

I'm safe here lying in your arms
Whilre the world outside me screems
Run through fields of restless sleep
Out of reach inside my dreams

And I'm singing myself to sleep
And I pray God will keep us safe

Lead me not to complacency
Teach me not to be a fool
While the world runs blind and carefree
Keep me running after you

And I'm singing myself to sleep
And I pray God will keep us safe

Weak calls to weak and weak men will rule
Leading stumpling nations just like fools leading fools
And the wars continue caring nothing for the pain
And innocents crumble just like pawns in a game
And their blood runs down with the tears that they weep
And run all together maging rivers in the street

And I'm singing myself to sleep
And I pray God will keep us safe

There's no hope outside of love
Theres no hope outside of your love
And nothing I do and nothing I say is worth anything outside of love
Theres no hope outside of your love
