Analysis of Safe Place
Within your heart where my heart lives
it is summer always.
Your arms shelter me from shattered dream debris,
and hope is new each day.
No matter what the storms may bring
our love is always true.
No matter what chaos may come
I'll weather it with you.
Inside thes walls of love
where safety is so real,
the dreams and plans we've made,
and the secrets we both feel,
cannot be touched or smothered.
We were meant to be safe and warm and free
sharing the loyalty of no other.
