Away from here
Away from this place
 In the back of her mind
 The place she’d escape
 And where she would hide
 
 In the back corner of
 Her room in the night
 Is where she would go
 And drift into flight
 
 The clock moved around
 And dark took over light
 She made her escape
 And she was out of sight
 
 The clouds drew in
 The rain came down
 She hid from the world
 Until morning came around
 
 Mountains grew daisies
 And apples on trees
 She sat in a meadow
 And did what she pleased
 
 Sun shined through
 And helped her cope
 And then she was left with
 Nothing but hope
 
 Away from it all
 In this majestic new space
 She recognized now
 She had a safe place
 
 In the midst of her dreams
 Is where she would steer
 Her life in the right direction
 Just to get away from here
