    Lyrics:
    The ocean is wild and over your head
    And the boat beneath you is sinking
    Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
    So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    Surely someone will reach out a hand
    And show you a safe place to land

    Grammy's deciding body really doesn't know what they're doing. Two decades in and she still don't have an award. Nominations is not enough to recognize her contributions, work and passion for music. Beats me, why do people who can't sing even half as good as her have rewards and she don't. Maybe in another lifetime Sara, when everybody can hear what your heart is saying, till then, you will always be one of the unrecognized bests.

      The dichotomy is that she is very highly rated but still has no awards to represent her success. It’s a travesty, but her career and music will stand the rest of time when those around her fall by the wayside

    I married at age 20 it ended up being a very abusive marriage in every way I almost had a mental break down I was able to get out of the house with some help of my Dr who noticed what was happening . I was 25 when I got out I have suffered ptsd for years I have not even dated in 39 years fear of going thru it again . I want to say how much this song has helped me and encouraged me to take a leap of faith and I'd find a safe place to land . Thank you Sara and John for this song and how it gives ones like me to keep going . God bless .

    I do immigrant justice work full time, and I knew by the time the first chorus ended that this was about immigrants on the border and I LOST IT. I'm a puddle of tears. When John sang "imagine being in a building on fire and told to stand still." That's EXACTLY what we're doing to people seeking refuge. We must and can do better.

    I cannot explain the tears. Sara Bareilles has always been able to write to the parts of me that I don't like to admit that exist. It speaks to me in ways that I wish it didn't. It hits me in the centre, when I have become so used to dancing around the subject in my own mind. It hurts in ways I try to pretend I don't hurt.

    When holding your breath is safer than breathing
    When letting go is braver than keeping
    When innocent words turn to lies
    And you can’t hide by closing your eyes
    When pain is all that they offer
    Like a kiss from the lips of monster
    You know the famine so well, but never met the feast
    And home is the belly of the beast
    The ocean is wild and over your head
    And the boat beneath you is sinking
    Don’t need room for your bags
    Hope is all that you have
    So say the Lord’s prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    Surely someone will reach out a hand
    And show you a safe place to land
    Oh, imagine yourself in a building
    Up in flames being told to stand still
    The window’s wide open
    This is leap is on faith
    You don’t know who will catch you
    Maybe somebody will
    The ocean is wild and over your head
    And the boat beneath you is sinking
    Don’t need room for your bags
    Hope is all that you have
    So say the Lord’s prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    Surely someone will reach out a hand
    And show you a safe place to land
    Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
    A little scared but you’re strong enough
    Be the light in the dark of this danger
    'Til the sun comes up
    Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
    A little scared but you’re strong enough
    Oh, be the light in the dark of this danger
    'Til the sun comes up
    Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
    A little scared but you’re strong enough
    Be the light in the dark of this danger
    'Til the sun comes up
    'Til the sun comes up, oh

    Just found this song. My dad played it for me. 3 and a half years ago I left an emotionally and verbally abusive marriage. I grabbed my 2 kids, left all our worldly possessions behind, and took a leap of faith. Luckily my family was there to be my safe place to land. I will never forget that fear and it is so hard to put into words. THIS song described that day perfectly. Today I couldn't be happier. The sun always comes up eventually.

    I listen to your song and my heart breaks open. You've captured the pain and suffering felt in so much of the world today. 70 million displaced, mostly by violence, more than in any time we've ever measured in human history. "No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark..." wrote poet Warsan Shire. Your words and voice resonate with her poem but also evoke the need for compassion and hope in a war-torn and chaotic world. Thank you.

    I just recently heard this song for the first time, and it touched me to the depth of my heart. I am so thankful for all the times people have given me a safe place to land. Having been raised by an alcoholic father who was brutal when drunk, so many times, my sisters and I would huddle together and scream while he beat our mother. We were innocent little children who were forced to deal with grown-up issues our entire little baby lives. It was only after becoming a grandmother and witnessing the innocence of my grandson that I realized what a scared little child I was. I suspect my sisters felt the same. We were each other's very first safe place to land.

    Soft Place to Land (lyrics)
    When holding your breath is safer than breathing
    When letting go is braver than keeping
    When innocent words turn to lies
    And you can’t hide by closing your eyes
    When pain is all that they offer
    Like a kiss from the lips of monster
    You know the famine so well, but never met the feast
    And home is the belly of the beast
    The ocean is wild and over your head
    And the boat beneath you is sinking
    Don’t need room for your bags
    Hope is all that you have
    So say the Lord’s prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    Surely someone will reach out a hand
    And show you a safe place to land
    Oh, imagine yourself in a building
    Up in flames being told to stand still
    The window’s wide open
    This is leap is on faith
    You don’t know who will catch you
    Maybe somebody will
    The ocean is wild and over your head
    And the boat beneath you is sinking
    Don’t need room for your bags
    Hope is all that you have
    So say the Lord’s prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    Surely someone will reach out a hand
    And show you a safe place to land
    Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
    A little scared but you’re strong enough
    Be the light in the dark of this danger
    'Til the sun comes up
    Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
    A little scared but you’re strong enough
    Oh, be the light in the dark of this danger
    'Til the sun comes up
    Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
    A little scared but you’re strong enough
    Be the light in the dark of this danger
    'Til the sun comes up
    'Til the sun comes up, oh
    'Til the sun comes up, 'til the sun
    'Til the sun comes up
    'Til the sun, 'til the sun
    Comes up

      And elections have consequences.
      Donald Trump and his cruel administration has brought unbearable damage and the heart-wrenching suffering to the weakest of the weak, people seeking shelter.
      This touching song moves me to tears because it reminds me of how low we can sink, torturing those who deserve our comforting protection.
      And it is a reminder:
      We all can do better.
      You can do better, Franco!
      Life is about love and decency.
      Life is NOT what you see in the Trump propaganda channels, parroting his hateful lies every day.
      Hope you manage to escape that evil parallel universe.
