Gone

Away from here
That is where I want to go
I want to be able to breathe.
Nowhere near
Just keep digging really low
I want to be underneath.
Somewhere bold with something bright
That is where I want to be
I want to dance among every star.
Some place old that's black and white
Come closer and you could see
I want to run really far.
Inside my home
That is where I want to leave
And you can show me the way.
Outside of these walls
And into the trees
Sometimes that is just the way it stays.
