There's laughter all around

Smiles ear to ear

New friendships form

Like birds taking flight

In this stream there is a dam

Grows stronger each new year

He couldn't find his wings

He makes some conversation

How's your day so far

The static rises

And drowns him where he stands

Now what's the matter here

I can smell your fear

Take you far away

And don't come back unchanged

Now wipe away those tears

Don't you bring that here

Take you far away

Far away

She passes him each day

Never with a smile

Don't want the pain

The shame of failure

Her mind keeps racing

To fill the hollow

Maybe tomorrow

She'll form the perfect plan

Now what's the matter here

I can smell your fear

Take you far away

And don't come back unchanged

Now wipe away those tears

Don't you bring that here

Take you far away

Far away

Far away
