Take me far away

 Take me far away, beyond the crowded street,

Where silence breathes softly, and dreams gently meet.

Let me drift past mountains, their crowns touched with snow,

Into valleys where whispers of lost rivers flow.

Take me far away, to the edge of the skies,

Where dawn paints its colors and starlight still lies.

Let me sail on the wings of a wandering breeze,

Over oceans unbroken, through forests of peace.

Take me where sorrow forgets its own name,

Where joy burns eternal, a bright steady flame.

Let the burden of yesterday fall from my chest,

And cradle me kindly in places of rest.

Take me to gardens no shadow can find,

Where time folds its pages and frees up the mind.

Where flowers keep singing though no one is near,

And silence itself is a song one can hear.

Take me far away, where the night is a friend,

And every horizon feels closer to end.

Where hearts are unbroken, and spirits can soar,

And I am not weary, not lost anymore.

Take me far away, but not just to roam—

Take me to places my soul calls its home.

For distance means nothing if peace can be found,

Whether high in the heavens or deep in the ground.

Take me far away, O winds of the day,

Lift me where sorrow has melted away.

Carry me softly, through bright or through gray,

Until I find hope at the end of the way.
