Escape

The open space calls to you Your feet start to move You throw yourself forward And break into a run Maybe if you're fast enough, you can escape Maybe if it's far enough, you can bury the pain The running has slowed now Your feet are bloody and sore You wince with every step Should you go back? Maybe you aren't fast enough, to leave it all behind Maybe it's not far enough, the hurt's still in your mind But you press on. Your feet will stumble But they still keep walking You will not turn back Maybe you'll be fast enough, some day you'll make it out Maybe you'll go far enough, and you'll forget the doubt
