Disaster train heading out bound
People, chorus all around
The invisible ties holding her there
Watching, waiting
They judge her stare
The stops are many, the people leave,
She stretches, she reaches, she pulls on their sleeve
They walk away, she turns around
Disaster train heading outbound.
The train won’t stop.
Won’t get her there.
She has to get off.
They have to care.
The invisible ties holding her down,
Disaster train heading outbound.
She knows it’s the last stop,
She knows she has to get out,
The sliding doors are open,
She runs, she looks about.
Disaster train has gone down,
Its no longer heading outbound.
She’s sees the out reached hand
Few minutes from her reach
She stretches, she’s waiting.
She falls to the ground a face appears
She claws her nails sliding on the ground
They grab her
She reaches for the door
They pull her back again once more
She fights and fights and fights her way through
Over run with fear, this is true
She passes one
There’s always another
But she keeps on going
Faces the other
The push her they pull her they throw her down
All she can do is crawl on the ground
Shes tumbled down, shes begrudging
They fall
She’s at the alter giving her all
The hand still outreached fighting for her
She’ll crawl to get glimpse of that door
She’ll get there fighting again once more
She’ll pass through
She’ll reach
She’ll get there soon
She’ll fight
She’ll keep going
With eyes she’s blind but with sight she sees
The people that stop her, are the people that leave
With a look she stares but with more insight than known
She sees ghosts of glory of home
The open door is waiting for her to jump on through
He’s told her so it will be her, he has something to prove
He’s standing there
Biding his time
He’s protecting her
Rehearsing each line
He knows she’s broken
Forced to the floor
He sees her crawling
He watches the door
Her hand outreached, he sees them stretched he sees the
Of which they wretch
They smile at her
They give her hope
He knows she has the strength to cope
They knew, he keeps an eye
But he is not going to stand by
He too is crawling his way through
The protectors scream the faces true
It’s not the wall that she as built
It’s the wall the faces built
It’s Invisible and it’s strong
He says it won’t be there long
But the fight, she wants too
Just like her he’ll make his way through
He’ll grab her and force them away
He has fear too
The boy won’t go through the door
He knows it’s her
He needs to
And when he does she’ll soar right through
When the rest of us, we withdrew
She was tied down on the outbound train headed for disaster
He gave her sight much more than vision he gave her love a place
He saved her from collision
The outbound train can’t head out no more
Because she made it through the door
She stands and she waits, she sees him there
No longer do they judge her stare
Outbound train you are no more
Now that she is through the door
