"I'll Keep You Safe", Sleeping At Last

I’ll keep you safe.
Try hard to concentrate.
Hold out your hand.
Can you feel the weight of it,
The whole world at your fingertips?
Don’t be afraid.
Our mistakes they were bound to be made.
But I promise you I’ll keep you safe.

You’ll be an architect so pull up your sleeves
And build a new silhouette
In the skylines up ahead.
Don’t be afraid.
Our mistakes they were bound to be made.
But I promise you I’ll keep you safe.

Darkness will be rewritten
Into a work of fiction.
You’ll see.

As you pull on every ribbon
You’ll find every secret it keeps.

The sound of the branches breaking under your feet;
The smell of the falling and burning of leaves;
The bitterness of winter
Or the sweetness of spring,
You are an artist.
And your heart is your masterpiece.
And I’ll keep it safe.

Dismiss the invisible
By giving it shape.
Like a clockmaker fixes time,
By keeping the gears in line,
Don’t be afraid.
God knows that mistakes will be made.
But I promise you I’ll keep you safe
As you build up your collection
Of pearls that you pulled from the deep;
A landscape more beautiful than anything that I’ve ever seen.

The sound of the branches breaking under your feet,
The smell of the falling and burning of leaves;
The bitterness of winter
Or the sweetness of spring,

You are an artist.
And your heart is your masterpiece.
And I’ll keep it safe.
