lyrics

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IT TAKES ME AWAY,
NEVER BEEN HERE, BUT I’D LOVE TO STAY,
FAR FROM THE NOISE OF THOSE SUFFERING WARS,
THE OCEAN LOOKS CALM FROM HIGH ABOVE ITS SHORES,

ABOVE IT ALL,
ALL IS SERENE,
ABOVE IT ALL,
FLOATING HERE SO PEACEFULLY,

FAR AWAY FROM HATRED,
FAR AWAY FROM BORDERS OF DIVISION,
FAR AWAY FROM CONSTANT CRUEL INTENTIONS,
400 MILES FROM MADNESS,

TRAFFIC JAMS AND POLITICIANS, (JUST…BREATHING) (KEEP… ON)
ANNOYING AD’S AND SUPERSTITION,
ANOTHER SHOOTING, YET NOTHINGS DONE,
A WHISTLEBLOWER STILL ON THE RUN,
CRIMES COMMITTED THROUGH ABUSE OF POWER,
BRAINWASHED MINDS LET FEAR DEVOUR,
ALL THESE THINGS SEEM SO SMALL,
HERE IN ORBIT…

ABOVE IT ALL,
ALL IS SERENE,
ABOVE IT ALL,
FLOATING HERE SO PEACEFULLY,

FAR AWAY FROM CAGES,
FAR AWAY FROM BILLS WE HAVE TO PAY
FAR AWAY FROM HUMDRUM DAY TO DAY,
400 MILES FROM MADNESS

ABOVE IT ALL...

I CLOSE BOTH EYES AND LET MY MIND GO STILL,
TAKE A TRIP INSIDE TO SEE HOW IT FEELS,
I’VE BEEN TAKING SOME TIME TO SEEK THE DIVINE,
GRATEFUL FOR LIFE AND EVERYTHING IS FINE,

FAR AWAY FROM PANIC,
FAR AWAY FROM USELESS ACCUSATIONS,
FAR AWAY FROM THESE DIVIDED NATIONS,
400 MILES FROM MADNESS…

ABOVE IT ALL,
ALL IS SERENE,
ABOVE IT ALL,
FLOATING HERE SO PEACEFULLY
