Lyrics
"Far Away"
He?s sitting in the corner
Of a cold dark prison cell
With noone to confide in
Just four damp concrete walls
He?s thinking there?s no reason

Like none he?d ever seen
He saw an angel coming
To take him far away
He thought the end was coming
When the angel spoke his name
He cried and asked forgiveness
But the angel said ?come with me?
He took him to his mansion
And showed him his rewards

He could see the shining throne

The cell door locks were opened
The guard said, ?on your feet?
They found the man who did it
And they?re going to set you free
Chorus: Out:
