Safe Place
Harmony Beyond Judgment: Joel McKay's Safe Place
Lyrics
Pin drop falls as you walk in the room
A moment of silence occurs as you enter the room.
Guitar drones, lights dim, clapping hands
The atmosphere is set with a guitar playing, lights dimming, and applause.
Familiar face and a comfortable smile
A familiar face greets you with a comforting smile.
Laughter falls through the air
Laughter fills the air, creating a joyful environment.
They say this our safe place
The place is described as a safe haven.
They say you can give your own and then leave without a trace
Assurance that you can contribute your part and then depart without a trace.
Of unnecessary judgement or hate
Emphasizes the absence of unnecessary judgment or hatred in this space.
They say this is our safe place
Reiteration that the place is designated as a safe haven.
Warm greatings as you stop at the bar
Warm greetings await you as you approach the bar.
Conversation, clinking glass, another round
Social interaction, clinking glasses, and the prospect of another round of drinks.
Strings buzz and a voice soft and sweet
Musical elements, with strings buzzing and a soft, sweet voice.
The smell or red wine so far from town
The scent of red wine permeates the air, suggesting a cozy atmosphere.

And you never wanna be alone
