Come away

Come away, and fly with me,
leave the rest behind;
Leave the old habits and the old garments;
Leave the place where there's no rain.

Come out with me, let us test these waters;
Cast away your fears and come to the edge of these waters;
Let not the Big Bad Wolf submerge you. Indeed you are free; free from these shackles.

Hope to see you happy, happy and not sad;
Hope to hear your laughter, and see the brightness in your eyes.
The gleam is within reach, just step out and find the way.

A time to play and leave all the rest behind;
Forget the past, let it die within these boundaries;
Seek out the new thrill, a place in the sun;
A place outside the boundaries, where the Brook never runs dry.

Be strong, come away from your own past;
Throw away your old ways, for it has no room to where you're going;
For this pathway only calls for the noble and a few courageous hearts;
To a promised land, where only the fearless dwells.

Come away, and fly with me,
leave the rest behind;
leave the old habits and the old garments;
leave the place where there's no rain.
