about

This song is for everyone who has been verbally bullied, abused, or just plain shunned because of their religion, skin color, sexuality, gender identification, physical limitations... basically, anyone who's had some schmuck dump on 'em. Not everyone is like that. MOST people are not like that. There are people out there who will love and accept you exactly the way you are.

lyrics

This song is a safe zone,
While it’s playing you are safe,
No one’s gonna mock your identity
Or ask any questions that chafe.
You can take a big deep breath,
Put your worries on the shelf.
This song is the safe zone song,
So come on and be yourself.

The whole world’s gone crazy tribal,
And sometimes the tribes are just one --
One person with an attitude,
Who thinks justice must be done.
They feel victimized by society
Accepting what is new,
They may not understand
They’re not being threatened by you.

This song is a safe zone,
While it’s playing you’re in control.
You don’t have to worry ‘bout being questioned
By every internet troll.
They think it’s their privilege
To condescend and hold a grudge,
But this song is the safe zone song,
And nobody gets to judge.

They say they’ve got dissenting opinions
Or opposing points of view
It doesn’t seem to occur to them
That they’re arguing you aren’t you.
Whatever gender, religion, or race you are,
They weigh in till the problem’s solved.
But your personhood isn’t a problem,
And they don’t get to get involved.

This song is a safe zone,
From those who want others policed.
They complain “Why do YOU need a safe zone?”
They’re the ones who need it least.
At best they say they “tolerate”, which means
They still think it’s wrong.
Love and acceptance are the keys
To this little safe-zone song.

Someone’s gender, religion, or race
Don’t affect other people at all
And if they think it does, like Roman invaders,
They’ve got a lot of Gaul
They got this vision that everybody
Should be alike and conform,
But every single person on Earth is different,
There’s no such thing as a norm

This song is the safe zone song,
We’re all people of good faith,
You’re a member of the human race
And when you’re with us, you’re safe
We know you’re trying to figure out
What you feel, what’s right, what’s wrong,
We’ll be by your side, arms open wide,
As we sing this safe zone song.

This song is the safe zone song,
It’s for everybody here
Whoever you are, whoever you love,
We’ll all stand up and cheer.
We’ll listen all night or just be quiet,
Put your worries on the shelf.
This song is the safe zone song,
So come on and be yourself.

This song is the safe zone song,
So come on and be yourself.

This song is the safe zone song,
So come on and be yourself.
