about

From 'Chasing Fear', an immersive new musical. An outcast ogre fears for his life, as people act violently toward his outward appearance. Featuring Elijah Caldwell.

lyrics

Trapped inside in the daylight
Breathing the same air til I go for a walk at night
Gotta stay alert, sometimes people try and hurt you
Never know if I'll be alright

It's a world full of violence
While the planet spins around, I stay shut up in bitter silence
We lock up our front doors to keep out the world wars
Right outside, I wish that I was

Like the Blue River
I wanna run
When the sky turns black
I'll be coming on back
To my bed, after kickin' in the sun
I wanna bathe myself in creation
Gaze at constellations in the night
Oh, I would rejoice, raise my hands, raise my voice
I'd be like you if I knew I was gonna be alright

Am I gonna be alright?

Got a ticket to nowhere
Wish that I could say that I belong somewhere
Wish that I could know why my parents let me go
Then I could rest, like all the rest

Then I could be someone like you
Whole life ahead of me, so much left to do
And all the things I'd be
If I could let the world see
The price I'd pay
To spend a day
And walk the world
In my own way

I would run till my legs grown tired
Til my breath was all run out
I would dance in the city square
And sing, and yell, and shout
I would swim against the current,
Up the steam to the river's end
I wanna know I got just what I ought:
I wanna know I've got a friend

Like the Blue River
I wanna run
When the sky turns black
I'll be coming on back
To my bed, after kickin' in the sun
I wanna bathe myself in creation
Gaze at constellations in the night
Oh, I would rejoice, raise my hands, raise my voice
I wanna know in my soul

Like the Blue River
I wanna run
When the sky turns black
I'll be coming on back
To my bed, after kickin' in the sun
I wanna bathe myself in creation
Gaze at constellations in the night
Oh, I would rejoice, raise my hands, raise my voice
I wanna know in my soul
That I'm gonna be alright

I think we're gonna be alright

I think I'm gonna be alright
