It’s raining outside today
There’s no peace and quiet
You can’t go out and play
It’s not safe out anymore
It’s raining outside today
Can’t hear myself thinking
Is there somewhere we can stay
It’s not safe out anymore
It’s not safe out anymore
We are like birds on a wire
It’s not safe anymore
We all can’t put out the fire
It’s raining outside today
Our hearts can’t hear the children
Can’t change it anyway, not safe out anymore
The sun came out today still can’t hear myself thinking
I need a place to hide away, it’s not safe out anymore
It’s not safe out anymore
We are like birds on a wire
It’s not safe anymore
When we can’t put out the fire
We can’t put out the fire
It’s not safe
Can’t put out the fire
We can’t put out the fire, anymore, well anymore
Our world is torn apart
It’s raining outside today
It’s not safe out anymore
There’s no peace and quiet
It’s not safe out anymore
The sun came out today
Not safe out anymore
Kids got nowhere to play here anymore
Safe anymore
We are like birds on a wire
It’s not safe anymore
When we can’t put out the fire
