So Far Away

by Michelle Creber

on Getting Stronger (2016)

Early mornin' sunlight is beatin' down
Upon the barren trees and the frozen ground
It's a new day
And yet I feel the same

Once again, I do what I have done for years
Tryin' to forget, and fightin' back the tears
It's a new day
And yet I feel the same

And I just can't help but wonder
(As tomorrow fades away)
Why this is pullin' me down
(And yesterday remains)
I can't pretend for much longer
(And I know I'm not the same)
Where can the answers be found?

It all just seems so far away...

It doesn't feel right
How can it be right?
Don't wanna be alone
And yet I'm drawn away
By something I can't explain
It doesn't feel right
If this is real life
How can this be my home
When I am drawn away
By something I can't explain?

My heart aches for these answers that I pray exist
Shadowed by the comfort of ignorance
Do I belong here?
Or am I meant for more?

It is all so big, and I am so small
If it's possible to understand it all
Why do I stay here?
What am I waiting for?

And the feeling still remains...

It doesn't feel right
How can it be right?
Don't wanna be alone
And yet I'm drawn away
By something I can't explain
It doesn't feel right
If this is real life
How can this be my home
When I am drawn away
By something I can't explain?

And I just can't help but wonder
(As tomorrow fades away)
Why this is pullin' me down
(And yesterday remains)
I can't pretend for much longer
(And I know I'm not the same)
Where can the answers be found?

So far away...

It may not feel right
But this is our life
And we are not alone
Though we are drawn away
By somethin' I can't explain
Somethin' I can't explain...
It doesn't feel right
But this is our fight
And we will carry on
Because we long to know
The things that we can't explain

It may not feel right
But this is our life
And we are not alone
Though we are drawn away
By somethin' I can't explain
It doesn't feel right
But this is our fight
And we will carry on
Because we long to know
The things that we can't explain

It all just seems so far away...
