I'll Take You There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Today, today is the 1st of May
Everything around us
Everything a lie
Your heart’s beating fast
As we race through the dark
Past the really good people
Who do what they’re told
What will be my name in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Who will I become in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Sophie and Lev are running away
These are the days
The days of gloom
Lev can’t smile and Sophie can’t sing
A mile to the future
Where tomorrow is king
What will be my name in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Who will I become in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
I don’t need to know
Know where you are
Only that you are
Safe in this world
Then I’ll be content
To get on with my life
Eat, drink and sleep
Look up at the stars
What will be my name in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Who will I become in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
What will be my name in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Who will I become in the USA?
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
