Away

by Daniel Peterson

I've been away from you.
It's been a month or two,
and I'm through
thinking I'm not good enough for you.

I've been away awhile.
It's been a year or two,
and I'm through
thinking I'm not strong enough for you

I've been holding my breath for oh so long,
looking for an ending to this song... hold on.

It's been an uphill fight,
spent my time staying up at night,
and I pray, "Lord, deliver me from this some day."

People from town to town,
spent my time looking upside down
so I can see... their souls.

I've been living my prayer for oh so long,
looking for an ending to this song... come on, yeah.

The flow of the lyrics don't come out until it's heard to the music. I enjoyed it. Planning to put out an album?
