This song is about letting go of those that you love, no matter how hard that may be. Instead of dwelling on the past and missing what once was, Toro writes that one should live their life to the fullest, in memory of those one has lost.
You can run away
From all the things that hurt you in the past
And you can hide away
Or face the truth and live your life at last
Remember your sons, their names
Remember the love they gave
Remember your daughters' names
Remember the lives they saved
Now take me away
Take me away
Now take me away
Take me away
Trying to make sense of the madness in this world
Nothing's ever changed, our pain goes on and on
In the face of hardship, stand up tall and proud
Sing this melody, honor their memory
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
You've got one life
So make it right
If I had one more chance
I wouldn't take it back
Don't die in vain
Please light the flame
And fill the sadness in your heart
With memories of us
Now take me away
To where the love flows free
It's time to say goodbye
Take me away
To where our love has won
So baby don’t you cry
Now take me away
To where the love flows free
It's time to say goodbye
Take me away
To where our love has won
So baby don’t you cry
Take me away
Take me away
Now take me away
Take me away
