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
