Escape

Could've cried because of joy
Up there with all things beautiful
Memories we all deployed
Into our minds, into our hearts

Trees and trees, and then the river
Where worries would never find us
Casting lines into the water
Running, running, running far

Living life with everything
Happy tears shined in our eyes
Relief would cease to flee from me
Taking in God's work of art

Could've cried that it didn't go slower
Why'd we have to say goodbye?
This is something that shouldn't be over
We shouldn't have to be apart
