A Voice That Carries

I gotta get away from here
Where it's always cold
I wanna warm my soul
Because I'm watchin' the embers die
'Said I'm gonna pack my bags
Gonna leave today
I got no need to stay
Cause no one's gonna kiss me goodbye

But I don't need anybody to lead the way
I got a dream to follow
I don't need anybody to save today
Because I've got tomorrow
I don't need anybody to break my fall
Because I know that if my journey leaves
Me weary at all
I got a voice that carries
(Carry me on up)
Gonna carry me down to LA

Said it's been ten long years
Since I've seen the Sun
I'm livin' on the run
And so I'm hangin' my head in shame
But my mama said to speaking mind
So listen what I say
Cause there will come a day
When everybody's screaming my name

But I don't need anybody to lead the way
I got a dream to follow
I don't need anybody to save today
Because I've got tomorrow
I don't need anybody to break my fall
Because I know that if my journey leaves
Me weary at all
I got a voice that carries
(Carry me on up)
Gonna carry me down to LA

I got a voice that carries
Carry me down where the Sun don't stop
I got a voice that carries
Carry me away from my pain, yeah
I got a voice that carries
Carry me down where the sand is hot
I got a voice that carries
That's the only thing that's
Keeping me sane
But I got a voice
Can you hear it?
Callin' me up and away yeah
But I got a voice
Can you hear it?
Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me
Down to LA

Never had a place to go
Or a place to be, no
As long as I can breathe
I'll always have my getaway song

But I don't need anybody to lead the way
I got a dream to follow
I don't need anybody to save today
Because I've got tomorrow
I don't need anybody to break my fall
Because I know that if my journey leaves
Me weary at all
I got a voice that carries
(Carry me on up)
Gonna carry me down to LA

I've got a voice that carries
I've got a voice that carries
I've got a voice that carries
I've got a voice that carries
I've got a voice that carries
I've got a voice that carries
I've got a voice that carries
