Take Me Away (04:44)

Written for our friend Taylor, who lost his mother in the May 2013 Moore tornado.

All that I know is gone
The city's dark and so are the spirits
They're telling me to keep walking, move along
And I just can't stand to hear it

They're telling me that she's gone
She's died and passed away
Only just this morning,
She told me she loved me, to have a good day
And they say, "You know, accidents of nature,
They're out of our control.
Son, I'm sorry you lost your mother,
But now you've got to go."

(and I say)

[CHORUS]
Oh, blow me away
Take me away with you
Take me away with you where you go
Oh, blow me away
Miles and miles from here
Show me mercy, end this pain
'cause I can't be saved any more
Take me away

They say I'm lucky to have survived
They say I'm blessed to be alive
God must have been with me
There's angels in my life
But I can't help thinking,
Where is God when someone dies?

I'm devastated, left in your violent path
And I feel ruined, surrounded by your aftermath
I don't know how to rebuild,
How to get back

[CHORUS]
