Lyrics
[verse]
I want to run where the map don't mark a border, where the sign don't say a name,
Where the ash and dust of yesterday won't answer to the same old game.
I want to build a house up on a hill that no one's ever seen,
Where the streets don't carry labels for the poor and for the clean.
[chorus]
Take me where the streets don't wear a name,
Take me where nobody's judged the same,
Take me where the walls have finally come down,
Take me where the streets don't wear a name.
[verse]
I've been standing at the corner where the old divisions grow,
Watching how a postcode tells you everything you'll know.
But there's a place I'm reaching for beyond the maps we've drawn,
Where the rain don't fall on one side and leave the other one withdrawn.
[chorus]
Take me where the streets don't wear a name,
Take me where nobody's judged the same,
Take me where the walls have finally come down,
Take me where the streets don't wear a name.
[bridge]
(instrumental — chiming guitar build, atmospheric and soaring)
[chorus]
Take me where the streets don't wear a name,
Take me where nobody's judged the same,
Take me where the walls have finally come down,
Take me where the streets don't wear a name.
