Here I am where the ash climbs high <br />Where crimson and stormy is the sky <br />I hear my steps echo behind myself <br />I look in the water, I'm blind to myself <br /> <br />I touch my face, I submerge my hand <br />Through the waves I see only a skeleton <br />Here I stand I got what I bargained for <br />I am my own king now and forever more <br /> <br />A king with no kingdom <br />A bird with no freedom <br />I'm one of the lost <br />Can't you see them <br />See them see them? <br /> <br />Here I am with the cold wind on my back <br />Don't know where to step as the earth begins to crack <br />I look down and I see it below <br />Reaching, begging, I fight off the souls <br /> <br />Winter comes, and it kills the wood <br />I find the warmth, it feels so good <br />Here I stand, I got what I bargained for <br />Your hero victorious again once more <br /> <br />But a hero gone bleedin <br />Needs somethin to believe in <br />I'm one of the lost <br />Can't you see them <br />See them see them? <br /> <br />Look at me now <br />I'm so far away <br />Look at them now <br />Wonder why they stay <br /> <br />Oh, I can see them <br />I see them see them <br />I feel them breathin <br />It's got me needin <br /> <br />To go far away <br />But I know I've got to stay <br />So won't you come outside? <br />Won't you come and play? <br /> <br />We'll go somewhere <br />Far Away<br /><br />Timothy Lee Hollandsworth Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-so-far-away/
