Anywhere But Where I Am
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.
Wish I was a river rollin' to the sea
Wish I was the Southwind, blowin' on a breeze
If I was an eagle I'd fly off through the clouds
Anywhere but where I am right now
I am not an innocent man… I never meant to hurt you, no
Yet there you stand… ready to cast your stone
You can play the judge
Hang my heart upside down
My soul is hungry…oh freedom, where can you be found
Anywhere but where I am right now
Anywhere but where I am right now
Br.: Locked in this confusion
Stripped of all my pride
Is this all just an illusion
I can't get free, you hold the key, let me go
Wish I was a freight train chuggin' down the line
Wish I didn't have to stay, stay and do my time
When that moment comes, I shall be unbound
Wings of freedom will fly me off to higher ground
Anywhere but where I am right now
Anywhere but where I am right now
