What to do with this unrelenting feeling of urgency What to say when the crack of a gun splits the night Waking you up from sweet dreams to a fear that's festering To the slow march of madness, to the call to take flight Pack your bags, turn the lights off, we won't be back any time soon In darkness we take the way travelled by few Slowly the rain falls and leaves the road ahead of us glistening But far brighter is the hope of a new life for you So follow me for one more mile I'll sing for you and wear a smile Tell you stories under starlight of the promised land And as we walk I'll always hold your little hand Don't look back and don't slow down As we pass through every godforsaken town We'll make it to a place where you can grow in peace Away from blood that runs in broken city streets I'll lie awake to watch over you keeping a steady eye I'll go without when the rations are running low I'll be prepared if there's danger out on the horizon Believe me when I say that you'll be the last one to know I'll carry you on my shoulders if your feet can take no more When the night is too cold, I'll build us a fire All that it takes is your face to bring courage and strength to me When my will and my body are beginning to tire So follow me for one more mile I'll sing for you and wear a smile Tell you stories under starlight of the promised land And as we walk I'll always hold your little hand Don't look back and don't slow down As we pass through every godforsaken town We'll make it to a place where you can grow in peace Away from blood that runs in broken city streets
