A Voice That Carries

Bonnie McKee

I gotta get away from here

Where it's always cold

I wanna warm my soul

Because I'm watching the embers die

'Said I'm gonna pack my bags

Gonna leave today

I got no need to stay

Cause no one's gonna kiss me goodbye



But I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to save today

Because I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leaves me weary at all

I got a voice that carries

Carry me on up

Gonna carry me down to L.A.



Said it's been ten long years

Since I've seen the sun

I'm living on the run

And so I'm hanging my head in shame

But my mama said to speak my mind

So listen what I say

'Cause there will come a day

When everybody's screaming my name



But I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to save today

Because I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leaves me weary at all

I got a voice that carries

Carry me on up

Gonna carry me down to L.A.



I got a voice that carries

Carry me down where the sun don't stop

I got a voice that carries

Carry me away from my pain, yeah

I got a voice that carries

Carry me down where the sand is hot

I got a voice that carries

That's the only thing that's keeping me sane



I got a voice

Can you hear it?

Callin' me up and away yeah

But I got a voice

Can you hear it?

Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me down to L.A.



Never had a place to go

Or a place to be, no

As long as I can breathe

I'll always have my getaway song



I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to save today

Because I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leaves me weary at all

I got a voice that carries

Carry me on up

Gonna carry me down to L.A.



I don't need anybody to lead the way

I got a dream to follow

I don't need anybody to save today

Because I've got tomorrow

I don't need anybody to break my fall

Because I know that if my journey leaves me weary at all

I got a voice that carries

Carry me on up

Gonna carry me down to L.A.



I got a voice that carries

I got a voice that carries

I got a voice that carries

Carry me down, carry me down, carry me down



I got a voice that carries

Yeah, yeah

I got a voice that carries

Yeah, yeah

I got a voice that carries

Yeah, yeah

I got a voice that carries

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
