Lyrics
SAFER GROUND
© 2005 Eric Rafoth
THE TV DRAWS ME IN SUDDENLY
AS THE YOUNG REPORTER CRIES
SHE TALKS OF YESTERDAY?S TRAGEDY
AS THE TEARS FALL FROM HER EYES
I STAND ALONE IN MY DISBELIEF
WONDER WHAT I CAN DO
A LONELY MOTHER IS LOST IN GRIEF
AND SHE PLEADS FOR ME TO COME THROUGH
HOW I ACHE TO CONSOLE YOU
I DON?T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME
MUST BE SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO
IF ONLY I COULD FIND A WAY
TO PULL YOU ON TO SAFER GROUND
(HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-CAN ANYBODY HELP ME, HEAR ME PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-CAN ANYBODY HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND)
TREASURES TAKEN BEFORE HER EYES
GONE WITH OUT A TRACE
THE PAINFUL SOUND OF HER BABY?S CRIES
CAN NEVER BE WASHED AWAY
IF ONLY I COULD HOLD YOU
I?M STANDING WITH MY HEART WIDE OPEN
IF ONLY I COULD SHOW YOU
HOW I?M PRAYING AND I?M HOPING
TO PULL YOU ONTO SAFER GROUND
(HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-CAN ANYBODY HELP ME, HEAR ME PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-CAN ANYBODY HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND)
LORD CAN YOU HELP HER
HELP HER TO UNDERSTAND
HER BABY?S RESTING THERE QUIETLY
IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
LET HER KNOW THAT YOU REACHED OUT
AND PULLED HER FROM THE STORM
NOW SHE?S SLEEPING THERE SOFTLY IN YOUR ARMS
YOU PULLED HER ON TO SAFER GROUND
(HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-CAN ANYBODY HELP ME, HEAR ME PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND
-CAN ANYBODY HELP ME, HEAR ME, PULL ME ON TO SAFER GROUND)
