There was a vacancy,
in the place where my dad should be
Do other children feel this way?
I cried out so loud for him
Who knows where he could have been
I know that I will not be the same
Take me away from all this pain
Just give me a chance to escape these tin walls
'cause I know these walls won't last forever
Some day I'll escape these tin walls
Surrounded but not alone
and trapped by this rootless home
Where will the wind take me today?
'cause I was just so confused
With nothing that I could do
I'll show them all I could one day
Take me away from all this pain
Just give me a chance to escape these tin walls
'cause I know these walls won't last forever
Some day I'll escape these tin walls
And someday we'll leave this park of decay
When's that day?
When will we go?
When will I laugh?
What will I do?
Where will I go when all this is through?
When will I laugh?
What will I do?
I know it won't last,
know it won't last, forever
I know it won't last,
know it won't last, forever
I know it won't last,
know it won't last, forever
Take me away from all this pain
Just give me a chance to escape these tin walls
'cause I know these walls won't last forever
Some day I'll escape these tin walls |
