Neighborhood is boiling tonight,
No sleep to be found.
Another moment to realize, terrorized
My life is going down.

They say it's just a matter of precious time,
As the dust of hell recedes
Before I find some peace of mind.
So they say, so hard to believe.

Well, I've packed a bag, I'm moving on.
Dark sky hides me as I run.
There's no refuge in the desert tonight.
And tomorrow, just the faceless sun.

Deliverance and hope seem so far off.
Don't give me no platitudes.
Traveling west to escape the cloud
But to where?

We make a dash for the border,
Sigh of relief at last.
Another land, but now a refugee.
I've burned my bridges to the past.

Sleepless nights with music as my friend,
In the morning just let me sleep.
Out of place, a non-entity,
Just trying to maintain my keep.

But I know I'm not the only one.
Where there's life, there's light for sure.
Mercy that leads me, follows me home.
The blues of hope for a Sojourner.
