"God, be my witness, I never shall yield."
"Lord, let me find him, that I may see him safe behind bars. I will never rest, 'til then, this I swear, this I swear by the stars."
—Javert, Les Misérables
It is the night
My body's weak
I've got to run, no time for sleep
I'm going to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got, such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
My body's weak
I've got to run, no time for sleep
I'm going to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got, such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
- Christopher Cross, Ride Like the Wind
