Away

We sang you two songs, Did you enjoy it?
We’d now sing you one more, Hope you like it.
Take you away with our melody,
To a place of immense serenity.
Away from the daily newspaper,
With bomb blasts, corruption, murder.
Away from stress, away from pain,
Away from the worries of your day-to-day.

Ch:
Let us take you away to a special place,
A special place of music so sweet,
Where love doesn’t have a price-tag,
Where the children run safe on the street.

Stop the fighting, stop the lies,
What happens when peace dies?
Drop the drugs, drop that gun,
What would result if violence won?
A mother is crying for her dead son,
Who lay still under a smoke masked sun.
In times of trouble what have we done?
Why can’t we all live as one?

Ch.

Bridge:
Realize-
Open your eyes.
Do you ever Wonder-
Why do they surrender.
Show some Respect-
That’s what everyone expects.
So just Forgive-
Live and let them live.

So let us take you away to a special place,
A special place of music so sweet,
Where love doesn’t have a price-tag,
Where the children run safe on the street.

Ch.

(.. my first song ever to be performed in front of a crowd.. :D )
