I cannot stay in this place
For the roots that dug through my mind
Have punctured my heart
I must find a way out of this subterranean pain

I cannot stay in this place
One prayer at a time can be so unkind
I must ask for it all at once
It is because the past has plowed the field once again

I cannot stay in this place
It is not for me to say what must be left behind
But what lies beneath the layers of time
Can only be mined by someone unafraid of an empty vein
