Wrapped up in mosquito nets Offer some protection Curled up foetal in our beds Naked we lay Everybody says it but do they really mean it? (You'll be fine you'll be fine) Everybody waves it like a hand in my face But what's surviving anyway? Tell me that I'm safe, tell me that I'm safe I need to hear it Tell me that I'm safe, tell me that I'm safe I need to hear it - all of the time I need to hear it Tell me that I'm safe, tell me once again Crawl into the overhead, ready for the thunder Dreaming of the riverbed on some better day Everybody's saying that I'm doing really good now (And how far I have come) Everybody's happy just to stay in one place 'Cause what's surviving anyway? Tell me that I'm safe, tell me that I'm safe I need to hear it Tell me that I'm safe, tell me that I'm safe I need to hear it - all of the time I need to hear it Tell me that I'm safe, tell me once again Close my eyes I'm just like a newborn child A newborn child I tell you When I close my eyes I'm just like a newborn child, a newborn child
