The Invitation

from Ocean Echo by Peter Hazen

/

lyrics

I'll write my baby a letter
that she can read while she's away
I'll tell her we'd be better off
if we both run away from this place
Take my hand, angel
you know in your heart what to say
We can decide to take a free ride
and extract ourselves from this rat race

Oh yes I know the road may seem hard
and I know it may seem too high to climb
and I know it may seem too far to fall
but we'll never know if we don't try

I'll write my baby a letter
and drop her off a portioned piece of my mind
I'll tell her we can do better
We don't always have to follow the blind
Gotta trust me
Gotta trust yourself for once in your life
You can use your voice to declare your choices
but you'll never get what you don't ask for

Oh yes I know the road may seem hard
and I know it may seem too high to climb
and I know it may seem far too far to fall
but we'll never know if we don't try
we'll never know if we don't try
