A shot rings out in the silence
Another mother grieves
And in this day of violence
They glorify the thieves
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 this madness
Take me away from here
Away from all this 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 in the darkness of the lie
I'm reaching for your hand
Take me away from here
Away from all the sadness
Take me away from here
Away from all the pain and fear
Far, far away from here
