Over time in a humble place
Circumstances make things clear
Another sign of all the wars and rage
All the burdens we all feel, yeah

When I'm burning down inside
Will you be there to open up my eyes again?
All my choices wrong or right
Will you be there? Will you be there?

When I'm a witness to things I can't control
Will you find a way that's clear
From the darkness of all the yesterdays
They carry on and find me here, yeah

When I'm tired of holding on, will you be there?
When all my reasons' gone away
When the feelings turn to stone
Will you be there? Will you be there?

I need to know the answer, do tell
I'll turn and dream of what you mean
And fall around your hands
When I've got to get home
Will you be there? You'll be there

Oh, when I'm burning down inside, will you be there?
To open up my eyes again
All my choices wrong or right
Will you be there? Will you be there?

Oh, when I'm tired of holding on, will you be there?
And all my reasons' gone
Oh when my feelings turn to stone
Will you be there? Will you be there?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
