I was trying to get from here to there

Walking to passing through

People everywhere

I got on at my station

Running through the fire

Looking for an elevation that

Would get me a little higher

News of people dying

Someone lying on the stair

Crying for the nation

A fancy dress affair

We'll be lined up in formation

But we won't be going anywhere

Down the hellhole

I couldn't get where I wanted

Stealing away your daddy's youth

Story after story of disaster barely missed

You see common miracles somehow do exist
