So Far Away

  • Never feared for anything
    Never shamed but never free
    A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could

    Lived a life so endlessly
    Saw beyond what others see
    I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

    Will you stay?
    Will you stay away forever?

    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    I have so much to say but you're so far away

    Plans of what our futures hold
    Foolish lies of growing old
    It seems we're so invincible
    The truth is so cold

    A final song, a last request
    A perfect chapter laid to rest
    Now and then I try to find
    A place in my mind
    Where you can stay
    You can stay awake forever

    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    I have so much to say but you're so far away

    Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
    The ones that we love are here with me
    Lay away a place for me (place for me)
    'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way (on my way)
    To live eternally

    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    And the light you left remains
    But it's so hard to stay
    When I have so much to say and you're so far away

    I love you, you were ready
    The pain is strong and urges rise
    But I'll see you, when He lets me
    Your pain is gone, your hands untied

    So far away (so far)
    And I need you to know
    So far away (so far)
    And I need you to, need you to know Writer/s: Brian Haner, Jonathan Seward, Matthew Sanders, Zachary Baker

  • Kimberly Wallace from Ft Myers FloridaThe Rev had an incurable heart condition and was told he might live to be 30....this explains his death on his own terms at his own timing... Just because he decided to do a Bromption cocktail to end his life does not make him a drug addict. Do your research people! Listin to Fiction. Listen to So Far Away.... You will get it! If you really know the history of A7X!
