Safe Haven
Finding Refuge in Love: Clare Dunn's Safe Haven
Lyrics
When the world seems like
Expressing a feeling that the world is in a state of chaos or disarray.
It's fallin' apart
Continuation of the idea that the world is falling apart.
And every day feels a little more dark
Every day feels increasingly dark and challenging.
And there's fear as far as you can see, mmm
Describing a pervasive fear extending as far as one can see.
And I need a refuge, somewhere to run to
Expressing a need for a safe place or refuge.
As long as I'm with you

Home is where I'll be
Defining home as the place where safety is found.
'Cause you're my safe haven, uh huh

You welcome me like a refugee

Drawing a parallel to the biblical saying, suggesting divine watchfulness.
I know he watches me wherever I go
Expressing faith in divine protection and guidance.
And when my heart is heavy with the weight
Referring to the emotional burden of life's harshness.
Of this unforgiving place
Describing the world as unforgiving and difficult.
I look to the sky and I know I'll be alright
Finding reassurance and hope by looking to the sky.
