Away from Here

A shot rings out in the silence Another mother grieves And in this day of violence They glorify the thieves I close my eyes in the darkness of the lie I'm reaching for your hand Oh won't you take me Away from here Away from all this madness Take me away from here Away from all this pain and fear All crumpled in her corner Will this be her last breath Some will mock, some will mourn her As they coddle her in death I close my eyes in the darkness of the lie I'm reaching for your hand Take me away from here Away from all the sadness Take me away from here Away from all the pain and fear Far, far away from here
