Far away from hell is a poem written from the perspective of an astronaut who watches the earth from far away and thinks about world peace and futility and pettiness of wars and other conflicts.
I just wake up,
Look down the sky,
Shining so bright,
Beneath me.
I look at the earth,
It’s so blue and white,
Just love the sight,
Beneath me.
I just float, up here in my station,
Far way, from darkening realization,
Promise you nobody will be able to tell,
How I feel so far way, so far away from hell.
I just fly,
Take a walk in stars,
They still look so far,
Believe me.
I look at her,
Oh she looks so green,
Had always been,
Believe me.
I just think, up here in my station,
Will it ever be like this? Down in all the nations,
Promise you nobody will be able to tell,
How I feel so far away, so far away from hell.
It is all contrasting, what I see from here,
It feels so silent, but I now it isn’t there,
It seems so cool, so slow, so pleasing,
But down there people are crying and pleading.
All those I love, all for whom I care,
Are they safe? Still breathing down there,
Promise you won’t believe, what I want to tell,
I want to live here forever, far away from hell.
So far away from hell.
