Oh there must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
There must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to

I was proud of my cell, it was the best on the block
I was content till I spotted the lock
Screamed at the neighbours, but they were stuck too
And I realised this was something I had to break through

Oh there must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
There must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
Digging to
Ate the file in the fruitcake, tried bending the bars
Banged my head against the wall, but I didn't get far
I got out of this room, led into a bigger room
Someone broke down that door, lead into a corridor
Up onto the rooftops
The sky is my ceiling
Horizons are my walls

Oh there must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
There must be some way out of this prison
There must be somewhere worth digging to
Digging to
Someone is guiding me
Something is lifting me
Something is taking me

Close to my rooftops is the birth of the rainbow
It seems more real than all of these walls
And all I've got to do
All I've got to do
And all I've got to do is jump
Is jump
Jump
Let go
Let go
Let go

I am everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere I see
I'm everywhere
