This was initially written for a friend who had had some hard times during his life, but moved away to a new country to get away from them and start life again. The lyrical subject, however, is more close to a book that I read during school called "Z for Zachariah" by Robert C. O'Brien, about someone thinking that she is the last human left alive.

This starts off slowly, but quickly becomes more cheerful than my usual style. It was written a couple of years ago, and to be honest I think that the lyrics seem slightly forced looking back at them.

[Lyrics]

Gaze around at the deadness, the ashes are scattered through the night
Everyone is dead, but I am still alive
My future seems to have vanished, the memories lost in the past
Now I see that I must go and I'll be free at last

I will leave to find the promised land
Over mountains, cross the sea
I'll be there one day, escape the pain
And forever I'll be free

Why was I the only one, chosen to stay here
Everyone I cared about is dead and gone, yet I remain alive

As I leave this desolate place
Never give up, that's my vow
I survived the end of the world
Nothing can stop me now

I will leave to find the promised land
Over mountains, cross the sea
I'll be there one day, escape the pain
And forever I'll be free

Now I've left my world behind
Never give up, that's my vow
I survived the end of my world
Nothing can stop me now

I will leave to find the promised land
Over mountains, cross the sea
I'll be there one day, escape the pain
And forever I'll be free

I will leave to find my promised land
It's the place I always knew
I'll be there one day, in a new world
Where my hopes and dreams come true

I'll be there, I will be there
