Burning down a country road, I am
Watching as the sun comes up
There's beauty here in everything I see
I look around and know that I am free
An old man's voice, "Slow down
That corner could hide anything"
Lost inside another hole, I am
Scratching at the walls around me
Deeper down the light is getting dim
And things down here could tear me limb from limb
An old man's voice, "Don't be scared
That light is coming from somewhere"
You will see for miles
See the truth in their eyes
You will walk with your head held high
When the war, when the war is won
Crawling from this filthy trench, I am
Blinking as the light it blinds me
Pull myself back on to my feet
I look around and know that I am free
I hear my voice, I say
"I wouldn't do it any other way"
Now I can see for miles
See the truth in their eyes
I can walk with my head held high
Now the war, now the war...
I can see for miles
See the truth in their eyes
I can walk with my head held high
Now the war, now the war is won
