Lyrics

Safety in Numbers

[Verse 1: Andy Bell] Show me the way, they say safety in numbers I lift up my eyes to the sky And imagine a crowd of hearts that surround me And give me the courage to die [Verse 2: Andy Bell] Were you to weep and lie soft at my feet Then you'd wash all my troubles away And imagine the host of angels around me That give me the courage to die
