When I'm away
When I can't stay
You know my heart breaks every night that I'm without you
Oh, my dear
I need you to hear
There's a reason for the miles that surround us
One day, I'ma look in your eyes
Tell you you were made to shine
Tell you to go out and find, out and find
What makes you come alive
One day, I'ma point to the sky
Tell you you were made to fly
When I'm gone, for too long, it's hard to handle
You know I'm trying to be a good example
I'm just trying to be a good example
So when it gets hard to handle
You know I'm trying to be a good example
So you'll go
And find your road
I promise you will know the way and when it's calling to you
And I'll be there
I'll be your cheerleader
I'll believe in you no matter what you choose, yeah
Every time I got to leave
You gotta know it's killing me
I hope someday you'll see
I hope that you'll remember
One day, I'ma look in your eyes
Tell you you were made to shine
Tell you to go out and find, out and find
What makes you come alive
One day, I'ma point to the sky
Tell you you were made to fly
When I'm gone, for too long, it's hard to handle
You know I'm trying to be a good example
I'm just trying to be a good example
So when it gets hard to handle
You know I'm trying to be a good example
When I'm away
When I can't stay
You know my heart breaks every night that I'm without you
