A shot rings out of the silence
Another mother grieves
And in this day of violence
They glorify the thieves, oh no

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 the madness
Take me away from here
Away from all the 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 as the darkness comes alive
You're reaching for my hand

Oh won't you
Take me away from here
Away from all this madness
Take me away from here
Away from all the pain and fear
Away from here
Away from all the sadness
Take me away from here

Away from all the pain and fear, away....far away....far, far away from here.
