Take Me Away - Cynthia Erivo

Take me away

Take me far away from here

Let me reside in the silence

Let the world just disappear

Let me leave it behind

Let me have one day alone

I want the thrill and sensation

Of living life in the unknown

I just wanna stop and breathe

I don’t care what’s coming next

I just wanna frame this day

Life’s too short to have regrets

If I sail away

Will I meet the sea

If I saw the sky

Will I feel the breeze

Let me live in the clouds

Let me sleep beneath the trees

Let me live in the place

Where there’s nothing I can’t be

Let me climb to the top

Of the highest mountain peak

Let me scream at the top of my lungs

So I can no longer can speak

Can’t remember the last time

That I lived and let things be

It has just been way too long

Since I felt alive and free

If I sail away

Will I meet the sea

If I saw the sky

Will I feel the breeze

I’m ready to return to the place I last felt stillness

To return to the heart I had when I was five

Where the only things that mattered

Were picking colors I could paint with

I’m too damn young to watch

My life just pass me by

So I’ll sail away

So I can meet the sea

And I’ll saw sky

So I can feel the breeze
