ESCAPE

ESCAPE 

I wanna get away 
I wanna get away, now 
Leave this place 
Leave this state of uneasiness 

So, come with me 
Come with me, now 
We could get away 
We could break away 

Escape; to a better place 
Escape; in a better space 
Escape; to a safer place 
Let’s make haste 

I wanna get away 
I wanna get away, now 
Leave this place 
Leave this state of anxiety 

So, come with me 
Come with me, now 
We could run away, drive away 
Fly away, sail away 

We would be free;  don’t want to fight 
If we flee;  don’t want to fight 
We would be safe;  don’t want to fight 
If we leave 

I’m terrified; petrified 
Scared; fearful and afraid 
Threatened and frightened 
I feel so anxious; I feel so vulnerable 

Escape; let’s go 
Escape; let’s flee 
Escape; let’s leave 
Escape; be free 

I wanna get away; get away; get away 
I wanna get away, now 
Leave this place 
Leave this state of uncertainty 

So, come with me 
Come with me, now 
We could get away, break away, 
Run away, drive away, fly away, sail away 

Escape.

WHO ARE YOU? 

I’ve got a question for you! 

Who, who? 
Who are you?  Who? 

Tell me: what’s your name? 
And what’s your game? 
Tell me where you live.  What’s your past? 
What you love; what you hate. 

Who, who? 
Who are you?  Who? 

Tell me about yourself…yah!  You're who?

I’ve got some questions for you!  You’re who?

Please reply; please don’t lie 
Don’t deny me getting to know you 

Do you care and do you share? 
Do you dream?  Tell me: do you scheme? 
What do you want?  Tell me what you need, 
What you enjoy and what annoys you. 

Who, who? 
Who are you?  Who? 

I’d like to get to know you 
I’d like to get close to you 
Can I trust you?  Can I believe you? 
Will you be truthful?  Will you be faithful? 

Tell me about yourself…yah! 
Who are you? 

Where have you been?  What have you seen? 
Who are your friends, and how is your family? 
Do you swim? Do you dance? Do you read? 
Do you draw?  Do you drive?  Tell me: do you ride? 

Please reply; please don’t lie 
Don’t deny me getting to know you 

Who, who? 
Who are you?  Who? 

That’s my question for you: 
You’re who?

THE EARTH 

Do you see the wings of bees? 

Can you hear the rivers freeze? 

Do you smell the dying leaves?

Can you sense the pull of the seas? 

Do you feel the strength of trees? 

Can you sense the mountains heave? 

Do you feel the energy of seeds? 

Do you taste the choke cherries? 

Can you hear the hopping fleas? 

Can you feel the flight of geese?
