about

A driving mid-tempo folk anthem with a strong political message about the futility of building walls to protect ourselves from the rest of the world. The current political divide in the US seems to boil down to fundamentally opposite world views: is it one world and we’re all in it together? Or is it us against them, winners take all, a real-world episode of “Survivor”? Except no one really wins that way.

lyrics

No Place to Run
Music and Lyrics: Barry Oreck (BMI)

No place to run to safety
Ain’t nowhere to hide
There ain’t no way to stop the future
All over this shrinking world, all over this world

Ain’t no wall to keep your fears out
There’s nothing that’s that high
Can’t build up we must see over
All over this shrinking world, all over this world

People want to live like you do
They think that’s how to thrive
They just want a decent future
All over this shrinking world, all over this world

We thought we had to do anything to survive
Whatever means or ends it took to forever multiply
Dig the rocks and burn the trees
To warm the house a few degrees
They’ll have to reap just what we sow
No other place for them to go

Our time is short, so we’re short sighted,
all we see is now
Why can’t we care about tomorrow?
All over this shrinking world, all over this world

My sister’s quest is my quest also
My brother’s pain is mine
I won’t stand by and watch it crumble
All over this shrinking world, all over this world

The rising seas, the drifting sands
The fate of people wrenched from their own land
There’s no gate and there’s no wall
to keep us safe above it all
Every living thing depends on this
We’re on the edge of the abyss
