Lyrics
Oil slick headed for the Gulf Stream.
Little girl lost on a back street.
See 'em go, See 'em go
The Giants are playing on a hot streak.
The band is working on its back beat.
See 'em go, See 'em go
And I can feel the goal so close.
Like the great Northern Lights
Outside of myself
I am flying.
Releasing the fear I hold, freeing my soul
Little boy lost on the mean streets.
Snuff out your life in a heart beat.
Feel it go, Feel it go
Scared young man on a cops beat.
Praying to God my life to keep.
Let it go, Let it go
Then the clouds opened up to me.
And the light shone all over me.
Freeing my soul.
And I can feel the goal so close.
Like the great Northern Lights.
Outside of myself.
I am flying.
Releasing the fear I hold, freeing my soul.
