Safe and Sound Lyrics


Think of a time when morning will come and you will wake up
Without the feeling that half the world has gone insane
You'll open your eyes reading your paper, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down the time while you were sleeping
I've never seen but I believe in a promised landWhy can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and soundThink of a place you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret, have to risk your life just to be yourself
A place where you'll walk safely no matter your color or age
More than the greed of you and me besides the fate of the day
I've never seen but I believe in a promised landWhy can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and soundI'd rather see you set it free
Than watch the curtains coming downThink of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else

One way you're seeking more than yourselfWhy can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and soundWhy can't we pull it together
One and all, now and forever?
Why can't we pull it together?
We can say we finally found a world
That's safe and soundI'd rather see you set it free
Than watch the curtains coming down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Chris Cornell (born Christopher John Boyle; July 20, 1964), Seattle, WA, United States, is an American singer/songwriter and guitarist

In 1984 he formed the band Soundgarden with bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Throughout the late 1980s and 90s, Soundgarden experienced major success as one of the major grunge bands (along with groups such as Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam).

In 1990, Chris Cornell worked together with the (then) Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, and Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready (who would later form Pearl Jam) in a project named Temple of the Dog. They wrote a 10 song album as a tribute to Andrew Wood, the singer of Mother Love Bone who had died the year before of a heroin overdose.

In 1997 Soundgarden split at the zenith of their popularity due to tensions in the group and Chris began a solo career. He released the sucessful album Euphoria Morning. Out of this album came the single Can't Change Me.

When Zack De La Rocha left Rage Against the Machine in 2001, Chris Cornell joined the instrumentalists of Rage Against the Machine to form the band Audioslave.

In 2006 Chris recorded a theme song for the James Bond 007 movie, "Casino Royale", titled You Know My Name, which is used as the opening song.

In the fall of 2006, Cornell started recording his second solo album Carry On, with producer Steve Lillywhite. Among some fellow artists who are expected to accompany him on his second solo release is friend and legendary musician Gary Lucas, who has contributed acoustic guitar to some of the tracks. Cornell has stated that he is always writing, and that there are some songs that he was not able to put into an Audioslave album. Carry On was released in the summer of 2007.

On February 15, 2007, Chris Cornell issued a statement that he was leaving Audioslave, shortly after Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk reunited with their former vocalist Zack de la Rocha to reform Rage Against the Machine.

Chris Cornell released his third solo album, Scream, with American rapper and record producer Timbaland on February 3rd, 2009. This album was a critical failure, and sold poorly. It is rumored that he is going to try and "De-Timbalandize" the tracks.

On January 1st, 2010, Chris Cornell announced the reunion of Soundgarden after a 12 year hiatus.
