Racing Until the End

My heart's pounding. . .
My breath's racing. . .
Just trying to get out of dodge.

I can't take it no more
I just need to get away 
And get away fast. . .

Take me now. . . Oh Lord please
End me in my missory
End the pain and the sorrow

Let me out of this world 
And let my soul fly free
High above the clouds

I want to see friends and loved ones
that's went on before me
Oh please dear Lord- take me away

I can't take this world any longer
I need to get away. . .
Please Lord. . . Amen

My heart is still pounding. . .
My breath is still racing. . .
I'm still trying to get out of dodge

I need to get away
Or get out of this place
I'm running and not looking back.

I'm standing up for my rights
I'm breaking free. . .
But one day I'll be out of this place.

I'll see all the faces
That I'm longing to see
And I can't wait until my Journey Ends.
