Looking for One Safe Place

How many roads have I traveled?
How many dreams have I chased?
Across sand and sky and gravel,
Looking for one safe place.

Will you make a smoother landing?
When you break your fall from grace?
Into the arms of understanding,
Looking for one safe place.

Life is trial by fire,
And love's the sweetest taste.
And I pray it lifts us higher,
To one safe place.

How many roads we've traveled?
How many dreams we've chased?
Across sand and sky and gravel,
Looking for one safe place.
