Getaway
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics

Get away
Escape from your current situation

Let's leave today
We should depart immediately

Let's get away
Let's escape from here

So you say you've tried, but just can't find the pleasure
You claim to have made attempts, but cannot find joy

People around you are giving you pressure
Those surrounding you are imposing pressure on you

Try to resist, all the hurt that's all around you
Attempt to withstand the pain that surrounds you

If you taste it, it will haunt you
If you experience it, it will linger in your mind

So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land
Join me, and together we will escape this troubled place

I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
I am confident that we have the ability to accomplish this

What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya know?
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you understand?

Watch for the signs, they lead in the right direction
Be attentive to the indications, as they guide you correctly

Not to heed them is a bad reflection
Ignoring them reflects poorly upon you

They'll show you the way to what you have been seeking
They will guide you towards what you have been searching for

To ignore them, you're only cheating
By disregarding them, you are deceiving yourself

Lay awake at night till the sun comes up in the morning
Stay awake during the night until sunrise

Never excited, it all seemed boring
Feeling no excitement, everything appears dull

Make up your mind which way to go about it
Decide on the approach you will take

Choose your road, just don't doubt it
Select your path, but do not hesitate

Get away (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya)
Escape from here, would you, would you, would you, would you?

Let's leave today (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya go?)
We should depart now, would you, would you, would you, would you go?

Let's get away (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya)
Let's escape from here, would you, would you, would you, would you?

Let's leave today
We should depart now

Let's get away
Let's escape from here

Let's get away
Let's escape from here

Let's leave today
We should depart now

Let's get away
Let's escape from here

Get away, leave today
Escape, depart today

Get away, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Escape from here, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Get away, leave today
Escape, depart today

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh
