Safehouse

(album: Only A Mountain - 2013)

The sun goes down again,
She goes numb and then
She'll close her eyes and wait
But that's no escape
Does she still know her name
The one they used to say
Has eyes just like her mom
Before she was gone

But half a world away
I sit alone with a hope to change
If there's one life that I can save
Then I can't sit around and wait

Where is a safehouse
Where is the rescue now
Where can she go when her life depends
On somebody else, it's out of her hands
Where is a safehouse
Where is the refuge found
Where is the hope, oh where is a friend
The one who will fight for her and defend
A safehouse, a safehouse

How far we would go
If it hit closer to home
It'd be hard to pretend
So hard to forget
If she weren't so far away
Would we do even more than pray
When there's so many lives to save
We can't sit around and wait

Where is a safehouse
Where is the rescue now
Where can she go when her life depends
On somebody else, it's out of her hands
Where is a safehouse
Where is the refuge found
Where is the hope, oh where is a friend
The one who will fight for her and defend
A safehouse, a safehouse

What if you're her only shot
What if I'm the last she's got
What if tomorrow it's too late
(We can't wait, we can't wait)
You might be her only shot
I might be the last she's got
Don't let tomorrow be too late
(We can't wait, we can't wait)

Where is a safehouse
Where is the rescue now
Where can she go when her life depends
On somebody else, it's out of her hands
Safehouse
Where is the refuge found
Where is the hope, oh where is a friend
The one who will fight for her and defend
A safehouse, a safehouse
A safehouse, a safehouse
