He went away

okay, this poem/song is dedicated to a certain someone:

~~~

I heard the news,

he will go away.

far away, a place to shake his past loose.

To go to a paradise he could choose.

what can I do? but watch him go

and keep my tears from flowing, so slow.

~~

Just keep running, keep on running,

when will you stop and look,

you've already found your heart's desire.

Keep on searching, you'll start hurting

if you just stop and look.

Don't be afraid, through hurt you'll grow stronger

but you just will not stop and look

I pray to God you'll not loose your way

when you went away

~~

Zero hour came

he's going away

fading from hour hearts, fading from our minds

he wish we'd forget, but we never could

they gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh

but I could only offer him this prayer

~~

Just keep running, keep on running

but do you know what you

are running from? when you've passed your heart's one desire

You kept searching, never finding

you will not just fade away

when you went away

And I pray to God you'll find your way

not to leave the path but each day to pray

for strength to face the day

~~

Just keep running, keep on running

do you still know what you are running for?

Just stop searching, and start finding

just remember what you're searching for

You're no longer here but you can still go there.

And I pray to God you'll find your way

when you went away

when you went away

don't fade away
