  • (leaving terra, leaving terra, leaving terra)

    If you're a thought you will want me to think you
    And I did
    Invited a guest up until you, you announced that
    You had moved in

    "what do you plan to do with all your freedom?"
    The new sheriff said, quite proud of his badge
    "you must admit the land is now in good hands"
    Yes, time will tell that
    You just lift your lamp

    I will follow her on her path
    Scarlet's walk through the violets
    Just tell your gods for me
    All debts are off this year
    They're free to leave, yes
    They're free to leave

    (leaving terra, leaving terra)

    There was a time when I thought that her destiny
    Should've been mine
    Big brave nation, but instead her
    Medicine now forgotten

    "What do you plan to do with all your stories"
    The new sheriff said, quite proud of his badge
    We'll weave them through every rocket's red glare
    And huddled masses
    You just lift your lamp

    I will follow her on her path
    Scarlet's walk through the violets
    Just tell your gods for me
    All debts are off this year
    They're free to leave, yes
    They're free to leave

    (leaving terra, leaving terra)

    If you're a thought you will want me to think you
    And I did, and I did.. Writer/s: TORI ELLEN AMOS
