Hide Away
When Families Fall Apart . . .
I walk by the window
I thought I saw reflections
Of someone I used the know
Once our dreams we had
And now they're gone
So I hide away
Summer . . . soon the leaves will be falling
Oh mother, I miss you now
Why did it end that way?
I wanna cry
But I just hide away
Hide away
Away from the pain
Hide away
It's all part of the game
Hide away
Oh I need to know why
We said it all
Before the fall
But we never said goodbye
Look at me now
It's cold in the shadows
Though I shed a tear
Now and then
Oh Lord,
Won't you help me please?
To cry again
Just to cry again
And not to hide away

Post a CommentThis makes me think of the Prodigal Son and that God is always willing and able to receive a wayward son or daughter. I have been in this same boat and came to the end of my rope. And there waiting for me was God...all along. Great song! :-)
So very sad but at the same time beautiful - I've found myself in this situation and am thankful I was able to cry out to God for help.
