Any Place but Here

Breath by breath you take
Still you’re grasping for air
Miles and miles you move
Into the abyss you stare
(Into the abyss you stare)
Running from the plight
Mighty grips its hold
And that hunger’s hanging on
But never return to the fold
With endurance
As the earth behind you burns
You can feel the heat
Keep your will and never turn
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, end this slavery
Come on, come on, where you’re going
Any place but here
And you pray for more hope
So this will run its course
Everyday you move
Handcuffs lose they their force
(Handcuffs lose they their force)
Abandon all you know
So destitution hides
United in despair
Still makes it harder to divide
With exhaustion
As the earth behind you melts
You can feel the heat
But your need for living fails
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, end this slavery
Come on, come on, where you’re going
Any place but here
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, where you’re going
Any place but here
A logical reason for being
Is quickly drifting away
People prove fiendishly greedy
Each time you try to believe
It’s hard to be defiant
There’s ways to kill the giant
Slaughtered by pins
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, end this slavery
Come on, come on, where you’re going
Any place but here
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, where you’re going
Any place but here
Any place but here
Any place but here
