Escape

Up each morning, work
each day. You think,
“There must be a
better way.”
Your mind begins to
wonder if you are right.
Troubles linger, feel
the pain. Each empty day is just the
same.
Your mind says,
“What’s the purpose to this life?”
Chorus:
Escape, escape from
the world that you live in.
You spend most of
your time trying to escape.
Escape, escape from
your life’s empty vision.
You spend most of your
life trying to escape.
Troubled people
everywhere. You need some help, but no
one cares.
You’re off to find
some comfort by yourself.
A little rest, it
ends too soon. Your fantasy stays in
your room.
The peace you’re
really seaking never comes.
Chorus:
Escape, escape from
the world that you live in.
You spend most of
your time trying to escape.
Escape, escape from
your life’s empty vision.
You spend most of
your life trying to escape.
Drown your sorrows,
float your fears, play blasting music in your ears.
Your troubles are
forgotten, no more pain.
Get so easy, get so
high, like kissing your whole world
goodbye.
But when you finally
wake up, your problems still remain.
Chorus:
Escape, escape from
the world that you live in.
You spend most of
your time trying to escape.
Escape, escape from
your life’s empty vision.
You spend most of
your life trying to escape.
Go to movies, see the
shows. For kicks, you wear outlandish
clothes.
You search for
something different, always something new.
The fads and fashion
change each day. Unsatisfied, but still
you pay.
Are you enjoying it,
or is it enjoying you?
There’s only one
relief in this life. One source of peace that you will find.
The way is Jesus
Christ, He’ll be your escape.
Give up this world’s
empty game. Joy is found in Jesus name.
Stop looking away, He
is your escape.
Please don't turn
away, He is your escape
Chorus:
Escape, escape from
the world that you live in.
You spend most of
your time trying to escape.
Escape, escape from
your life’s empty vision.
You spend most of
your life trying to escape.
Repeat Chorus:
Escape, escape from
the world that you live in.
You spend most of
your time trying to escape.
Escape, escape from
your bondage of sin.
Jesus, your passage
to escape.
