Fly Away

I lie in bed watching time go by
I lay so still in front of you
But inside, you don’t know I fly

To this place within my heart
One tiny paradise to smile
The last dream that wasn’t ripped apart

For all my life I could only dream
The day I looked at reality I fell
Broke and didn’t know what it could mean

But now I know dreams are all I have to hold
And all these words inside my head might wake me
So I don’t speak, they must remain untold

Cos even though it seems to you I cry,
That’s not me .. I’m so far away …
I’m buried deep in my heart … and I fly

The answers don’t matter now
I have one that suits me well enough
No more what when why or even how

Cos I’m gonna just spread each wing
Fly forever through this dream
And as I do … my body won’t say a thing.
