Away

Take me away where the butterflies flyway in the sky 
So freely and high were the breeze guides my soul 
Take me away from the stress of the everyday 
Take me to a place where it pores rainbows as a sign of hope 
We're familiar faces guide my hand to a better way to stand 
Firm and believe better days to come and the sun reflects in my face 
And the beat of my heart races excitedly to feel a new day is about to dawn
 Take me away were not to face are the same one way or another 
Where they smile in front and frown in your back were the ugly petards friendly  
While plotting envy 
Where destruction is their everyday feed were misery welcomes company 
I keep away for fear to see right through they're mascaraed so proudly parade 
Too close to home so sadly to say is their only way of keeping the fakeness real
I see many of things wisdom is a gift from above how to use it is a blessing
From within oneself, there will come a time when asked where you were  
 Close but yet so far once together now far apart once strong now weak 
My knees are weakened but still I fall down to praise him that has gotten me this far 
Opened my eyes to see the bees that surround me ready to strike as soon 
As I drop my guard but one that is holy and mighty will guide my steps will be 
My eyes and help me rise above all my transgressions before the storms cease 
To calm its self down have to go through the motion of the oceans currents waves 
Without drowning with sad emotions pulling me down my focus in the clear
Blue sky for signs of a bright sunny day my butterfly’s fly freely  
And the wind shines play with the wind my favorite toon
I am on my way to better days for one that is greater guides the way 
  With the butterfly’s leading each step of the way I give him all of the praise 
                                                         AMEN
