Lyrics

As I look upon tonight
So much more than something special
Matthew's eyes are shining bright
Softly sending me to dream

Saying Papas don't you tease
Take me dreaming with you please

Take me away
Where little birdies go
I've tried to follow
When they fly

Take me away
Where no one can hurt me
Abuse and desert me
Please take me away
Oh oh oh Take me away

Though in years he's only two
Half his life time was a nightmare
The only family that he knew
The judge allowed him to return there

Saying Mimmie if you please
I just want the love you always gave to me

Take me away
To where bad people never go
So I can just grow up slow
And play with my puppies

Take me away
Where others like me are friends
An innocence still begins and ends with a smile
Please take me away

I am the future, you are the past
Oh and I own the present, you have the task to make it last

So take me away
To where God helps our dreams come true
Where all of us can renew
Our faith in tomorrow

Take me away
Where the pain of the past is lost
And love is the only cost
Take me away, Take me away, please take me away.
