lyrics

Don't Turn Away

Don't turn away. Don't turn away. Don't turn away – ay.
Don't turn away

No shoes on your feet – No food in your hand
Getting so hard to breathe now – But you can't understand
Blood from the sky - So hard is the ground
That look in your eye - As you reach out your hand
Rivers of tears – have drifted away
There's no more to fear now – and no more to say
No one is there – when you're standing alone
No one to care for you - when no place is home
There's a storm in my heart – A feeling so strong
This has to end now – It's gone on for too long
A child with nobody - That no one will miss
No one to love them – Not even one kiss

Don't turn away Don't turn away
Don't turn away Don't turn away
Oh ooh oh oh Oh ooh oh oh
Oh ooh oh oh Oh ooh oh oh

Voices in the distance
Disappearing into the fire
Phasing in an instant
Standing to inspire Inspire

Can't sleep tonight - Emotions run wild
If I am a man – Do I act like a child
There's a storm in my heart - A feeling so strong
This has to end now - It's been running too long
A child with nobody – that no one will miss
With no one to hold them – not even a kiss
No one to hold them – not even a kiss

Don't turn away Don't turn away
Don't turn away Don't turn away

Don't turn away Don't turn away
Hey ee ay Oh ooh oh Hey ee ay Oh ooh oh
