There's a place I must go There's a place I must go It's not a place I have seen But I'll get there in a blue dream Down an ocean road Past a sign that says 'good love town' Into a darkness where the stars do drown Where the starry me needs to be free And when the battle was done I was promised my sun But with a thousand nights gone To any kingdom I run And when the battle was done I was promised my sun But with a thousand knights gone To any kingdom I run There's a place I must go There's a place I must go For my heart is a child That stumbles lonely for the arms of the wild Hear the desert sigh Sing the city's lullaby The giant iris of the wide blue sky Showing me the way And when the battle was done I was promised my son But with a thousand knights gone To any kingdom I run And when the battle was done I was promised my son But with a thousand knights gone To any kingdom I run You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up Had a big machine riding your shoulders You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up Had a big machine riding your shoulders You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up Had a big machine riding your shoulders
