There's a ghost in these walls
And it's tiring me down
I am falling
There is smoke up ahead
And it wants me for dead
I am stalling
And he keeps calling
There's a man who I saw
With no care for the law
I am fearful
He's got clouds full of rain
And a heart of distain
He is evil
My strength is feeble
And it rained
And it poured
But I pressed on beaten and torn
Now I'm here
At the end
And it seems I don't have a friend
In this world
That I'm living
In this life that I've been given
I'll press on
I will press on
When the times they were bad
And I home couldn't be had
I was wondering
Don't look up to the sky
For to wish I could fly
I'll be longing
Ever be longing
And it rained
And it poured
But I pressed on beaten and torn
Now I'm here
At the end
And it seems I don't have a friend
In this world
That I'm living
In this life that I've been given
I'll press on
I will press on
If I could see but a sign
Of the land that was mine
I'd have freedom
If this dark weren't so cold
And the path now too old
I'd be hidden
It'd be my Eden
And it rained
And it poured
But I pressed on beaten and torn
Now I'm here
At the end
And it seems I don't have a friend
In this world
That I'm living
In this life that I've been given
I'll press on
I will press on
