John Bryan - My Safe Place (feat. Phillip Joubert) Lyrics

How did I get here
Years of recovery and psychoanalysis Have me questioning
If the cost was Worth it for years of introspection to Still feel worthless
Not void of value just worth less than What I sell myself for on
Any given day
I have job security
If you want to call it that
A wife and what many call
Financial freedom
I wouldn't call it that
And I've realized that's freedom is a word loosely used
But I've recognized true freedom is a Freedom to
And not a freedom from
Wait
Hold up
That sounds like Birthing a Vision, Ya'll remember that
That my life is still marked by Succeeding
I knew that then but never
Resolved to find the answer why
Why do I long for a vision of success
A striving to be great at the cost of Constantly being
Reminded of how barren I am
My soul is yearning for the promise a Not my purpose
The work of God
Not the work of John
The Isaac
Not the Ishmael
I feel like I'm searching for Something I've never known
And is Alien to my conditioning

I'm searching for a safe a place where I belong
A place where I can be myself Without regard for how
I'll be received
A place where
I'm not plagued by the
Compulsion to achieve
A place where I am accepted
Validated
Free
A place where I don't have to do
A place where I can
Just be

I just want a safe place
A place where I belong and I can
Just be me

A place where I'm accepted and free
No value from do's and don'ts
A place I can
Just be

I just want a safe place
A place where I belong and I can
Just be me

A place where I'm accepted and free
No value from do's and don'ts, a place I can
Just be
A place that I can
Just be
I just want a safe place
A place where I belong
And I can
Just be me
