Lyrics
Working in the sunshine
reveals the color of my skin
So I keep on praying,
knowing darkness is my only friend
Someone told me about freedom
and how to catch the train
But I can't find it on a map
I can't even spell it's name.
Finally, heaven draws her curtain
So I slip into the night.
With feet hardened by the earth,
I take the adrenaline flight.
Maybe what I am is wrong
I get tired singing songs
about how great my life is
I'm gonna jump aboard that train
and trade this life for something sane
or I don't want no life at all
The sky is falling
The prize of freedom is in my sight
I thought I heard you calling
I reach you through the North Star light.
