lyrics

IN THIS FIELD OF GREEN
SURROUNDED BY BEAUTY HERE.
I’M SAFE FROM PAIN HERE;
I’M SAFE FROM PAIN EVERYWHERE.

MY LIGHT OF HOPE SAVES
ME FROM MY INNER TERROR,
KNOWING THAT I’M LOVED
THAT SOMEONE CARES ABOUT ME…

I DON’T NEED THIS PLACE
TO SAVE ME FROM MY SORROW
TO SPARE ME FROM PAIN
I CARRY THE PAIN WITH ME

YOU MAKE IT LIGHTER.
YOU FREE MY INHIBITIONS
YOU MAKE ME BETTER
MY MEMORIES STILL HAUNT ME

SOMETIMES IT STILL HURTS
YET YOU’RE STILL AROUND, AND
KNOWING THAT I’M LOVED,
THAT SOMEONE CARES ABOUT ME
IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME CRY.
