Wheels of Despair

I comb my hair, I close the door, I start the engines and let them roar
I check my look in the rear-view mirror
Hey could you please open the door, I know it's late but we have to go
I figured out a way, I figured out it all
If you believe in miracles and have a little faith and hope
It might be enough after all

Oh son I feel that I'm a prisoner in this rocking chair
I don't want your aid, I got a promise to break and a damage to repair
Soon sky is underneath me as the images come rushing through my head
It's not always fair, I never wanted to blame, these wheels of despair

Time is not for wasting the road is long, I hear your voice on the radio
You talk about your burnout and the book you wrote
I don't even know what we're here for, this is our fight but it's their war
I'm just another tree in a row
Under the northern skies we've grown
Now the stars look different and the sky's all wrong
I never thought I'd be this far away from home

Oh son I feel that I'm a prisoner in this rocking chair
I don't want your aid, I got a promise to break and a damage to repair
Soon sky is underneath me as the images come rushing through my head
It's not always fair, I never wanted to blame, these wheels of despair

Close your eyes and dream for a while, you can move back and forth in time
This is it, we're leaving this town behind
Do as I say not as I do and all the pain comes back to you
Don't forget to say please and thank you
If you believe in miracles and have a little faith and hope
It might be enough after all

Oh son I feel that I'm a prisoner in this rocking chair
I don't want your aid, I got a promise to break and a damage to repair
Soon sky is underneath me as the images come rushing through my head
It's not always fair, I never wanted to blame, these wheels of despair
