We are Safe
I don’t want to sing your name,
The mountain tops won’t echo
Buildings won’t shake
It won’t be carved in the stucco
I want it all my own
Whispered in the dark
Quiet for my ears
Loud for my heart
You won’t shout my name
Hills will not resound
Birds will not sing
At your joy at the sound
You’ll keep it to yourself
Safe inside your mouth
If no one can guess
No one can doubt
They needn’t know
They needn’t understand
What it is exactly
That makes it so grand
But you are the rail,
I am the road
You are the light,
I am the glow
