well if ever there's a will there's a way
and if you fear that your cards have been laid
there's no thing more clearly understood than:
“away bird, away, away”
so if you ever want to be a lover to me
if you think you can withstand my fate:
cause I’m dragging some tree that was fallen for me and still I’m pulled down by its weight
so if you ever feel the need to address
all these issues which rise to your head
then just look on back at all you’ve learned
all that you’ve loved
and all you’ve spurned
but don’t be afraid
don’t be afraid.
and if ever you’ve a need to be heard
above all of this clamoring and clattering affray
then just hold your head high
and with a blood curdling cry
sing Whip Crack Away!
