Wish I was a river rollinÂ’ to the sea
Wish I was the Southwind, blowinÂ’ on a breeze
If I was an eagle IÂ’d fly off through the clouds
Anywhere but where I am right now
I am not an innocent manÂ… I never meant to hurt you, no
Yet there you standÂ… ready to cast your stone
You can play the judge

Hang my heart upside down
My soul is hungryÂ…oh freedom, where can you be found
Anywhere but where I am right now
Anywhere but where I am right now

Br.: Locked in this confusion
Stripped of all my pride
Is this all just an illusion
I canÂ’t get free, you hold the key, let me go

Wish I was a freight train chugginÂ’ down the line
Wish I didnÂ’t have to stay, stay and do my time
When that moment comes, I shall be unbound
Wings of freedom will fly me off to higher ground
Anywhere but where I am right now
Anywhere but where I am right now
