He hits the pedal harder and heads out of his own sight
He winds the window down and he screams into the night
Where does this highway go? x2
He runs into the forest and he crawls upon the earth
He tries to find the silence that he knew before his birth
Where did it all begin?
There’s a fire burning in his head
Some unknown word yet to be said
The night swirls round the stones he calls his bed
The morning finds him shaking he blinks his eyes into the sun
He looks for something firm to hold thinks of all the miles he’s run
How long does this running last?
He traces tracks descending to the valley deep within
There’s something to be fought he fears some battle yet to win
When will this struggle end?
There is something waiting to be found
Some message hidden underground
He stiffens as he listens for the sound
He steps into a clearing to the beat of his own heart
The silence hovers monstrously he wonders where to start
What is it I’ve come to find?
The air throbs like a hammer he crashes round in rain
He loses all his sense of time he buckles from the pain
He reaches for someone to hold
He feels a hand upon his arm?
He feels the warmth of spreading calm?
He turns and falls and cries a healing balm?
