Away from You

Say, you got a minute friend?
Because I'd like to tell you something.
You may think nothing of it,
But wait...you're gonna love it.
What if I told you I held
The one true philosophy?
Would you hear me out
Or just turn your back
And laugh at me?
Lord, I just don't understand
This strange creature you call man.
Who thinks he lives by his own
Hand, but I know.

There's no life away from you.

So I will remain still and silent,
For fear of the words I might say.
And am I still in my defiance,
When I'm trying so hard to obey?
