I'm hiding in a rain barrel Inside these consul walls, This shaft of light is so narrow I can't see much at all, Outside I hear the feet running Voices all around, Foot soldiers with their guns coming I can't make a sound,
But if Mr. Williams keeps his word Oh my life could still be saved, I might live to see a time when all these roads are paved, If they break inside these walls Oh, you won't see me again, But if Mr. Williams keeps his word, Someday, my story will be heard...
I'm living in a strange country It's so hard to find, It's not on any map You carry it in your heart and mind, Outside I hear the ground shaking Up from underneath, It's only when the empire's breaking That you see their teeth, But if Mr. Williams keeps his word Oh my life could still be saved, I might live to see a time When all these roads are paved, And'f they break inside these walls Oh, you won't see me again, But if Mr. Williams keeps his word Somewhere, my story will be heard...
I'm hiding in a rain barrel With one small patch of sky, Don't think I'm gonna see tomorrow Gonna bid this world good-bye...
