Haven't been so far away from home for a long, long time Haven't seen the places I aimed to see just in my mind Never thought that I'll ever miss my friends any time of a day The tears are running down my cheeks 'cause I'm so far away I, I'm still reaching for the light Where are they gone? Those golden times Something deep in me has died I'm dreaming of my old world I need to get this weight off my shoulders now I gotta get this right somehow I look upon those hills and plains Feel the dark tide in my veins No word or voice remains Shake me out of these chains Haven't been so far away from home for a long, long time I haven't seen the places I aimed to see just in my mind Never thought that I'll ever miss my friends any time of a day The tears are running down my cheeks 'cause I'm so far away I'm dancing to the big bells chime And in the quiet of the night I see my sweetest memories shine I look upon those hills and plains Feel the dark tide in my veins No word or voice remains Shake me out of these chains I haven't been so far away from home for a long, long time I haven't seen the places I aimed to see just in my mind Never thought that I'll ever miss my friends any time of a day The tears are running down my cheeks 'cause I'm so far away Never been so far away, never, never been so far away ♪ Never been so far away, never, never been so far away I wanna stand up there's nowhere else to run I wanna let go I wanna shine on It's time to keep my eyes from the fire And it hurts so bad that I'm still so far away I haven't been so far away from home for a long, long time I haven't seen the places I aimed to see just in my mind Never thought that I'll ever miss my friends any time of a day The tears are running down my cheeks 'cause I'm so far away Never been so far away, never, never been so far away ♪ Never been so far away, never, never been so far away
