Look Away

Look away young man
to a land far away
see all that you can
save it for another day

Look away from the bad
things will brighten
up ahead you'll be glad
for your pain will lighten

Look away up to the sky
and give your pain away
look away when you cry
as tears fall like rain

Look away into space
to se a shining star
she'll help settle a case
look away and leave her behind

Look away to a better land
look away and don't cry
for life is for the living and
only the pain will die

Look away for life is great
look away and be free
look away, young man look away
for a bright new day has dawned

Paul Vernon Deffendall
December 9, 1988
