Avalanche

Witness (UK)

We follow the leads,

but the clues offer nothing of any

So you work and you sleep and you wake

and then you've got to wait there

for an avalanche

to cover you



But you know you gotta scream

to shake the ice on the side

of the mountain free

So scream your lungs raw

Till you can't do it anymore

Then work and sleep and wake and then you've got to wait there

for an avalanche

to cover you



But you know you gotta scream

to shake the ice on the side

of the mountain free





Have you ever thought of children

Is the world here a haven?

Are the secrets in the walls here

that I never had been given

I spend half of my lifetime

Just trying to work for Jesus

I only wish my folks

Had told us he didn't really need us. No.





But you know you gotta scream

to shake the ice on the side

of the mountain free
