"Carry You To Safety"

I promise this: I'll never take you for granted
Without a kiss I knew you're all that I wanted
You walked into the room and in a word you owned it
I couldn't move, I was locked into that moment

And from the stage it was like the heavens opened
I felt the world shiftin' gears into slow motion
You justified a dream I always carried with me
Just when I'd given up, your love swooped in to lift me up

[Chorus 1:]
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when this noisy world makes you feel small
I'll be there to carry you to safety

I was a seagull wand'rin' the lonely beaches
Now I'm an eagle soarin' to your upper reaches
Not very long ago you were a total stranger
Now suddenly you are real-life changer

[Chorus 2:]
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when it's cold and the snow starts to fall
I'll be there to carry you to safety

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 1:]
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when this noisy world makes you feel small

[Chorus 2:]
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when it's cold and the snow starts to fall
I'll be there to carry you to safety
