Far Away From Here

I stood out on the street

I took in all the sights

The buildings were so tall

In the fading light

There was no real warmth

There was a decision not to stay

I’d rather be somewhere

Far away from here

I looked up to the clouds

I watched a jet in flight

There was a trail of smoke

As it flew out of sight

I’d follow that plane

Anywhere, anyway

I need to be somewhere

Far away from here

The road is long

And travel is far

It’s a place

To follow my heart

Turn it up

Turn it on

Turn it into something

That makes sense

Make it into something

I can be

Make it into something

I can see

Do you want to go there with me?

I moved on down the road

Following ancient trails

Searching for a path

Before the sun does pale

Looking for that moment

When life shifts into gear

I need to be somewhere

Far away from here
