Did You Make It Safe lyrics

The chase was hard (to the water) The chase was long (to the sunlight) Through the searing heat of the midday sun I'm out of breath, I am gasping out I'm almost gone, I am almost gone My heart it is beating, my heart it is pounding Looking back, there's something there Against the rocks, burning clear I see his shape with the horns and spear It's a very long way, far, far away From your hometown streets and all those rusting mills And they never could understand Why you had to go, why you had to go So did you make it safe to the promised place? And did they take you in like you were part of them? You wanted it so much - all those days of dreaming You gave it all your faith, you gave it all your faith And I remember the night we passed each other You were like the last on earth, still praying, still praying My heart it was pounding, my heart it was beating With him standing there with the horns and spear It's a very long way, far, far away From your hometown streets and all those rusting mills And they never could understand Why you had to go, why you had to go
