From the recording Wildfire
“Take You Away” is a Ballard song played by two pianos about the injustice people suffer in society and the pain of losing a loved one, it is truly a very emotional touching song.
Lyrics
Taken You Away
[Music Intro-Verse One]
I really loved you, from the day you were born.
You were my child, you were my pride and joy.
You were so sweet, with a big gorgeous smile.
Standing strong, in a world that don’t care.
Standing strong, in a world that don’t care.
Standing strong, in a world that don’t care.
[Chorus]
I know your hurting, at the end of the day.
What really happened, shouldn’t have happened that way.
No man, has the right to take you away.
No man, has the right to take you away.
No man, has the right to take you away.
No man, has the right to take you away.
[Verse Two]
I really miss you, from the day you went away.
You were so kind, you were my pride and adorn.
You were loved, and favoured in everyway.
Riding fast and flying high in the sky.
Riding fast and flying high in the sky.
Riding fast and flying high in the sky.
[Chorus]
I know your hurting, at the end of the day.
What really happened, shouldn’t have happened that way.
No man, has the right to take you away.
No man, has the right to take you away.
No man, has the right to take you away.
No man, has the right to take you away.
[Verse Three]
I think of you, on this very sad day.
You did not commit, a crime, on that fatal day.
There is no justice, when a life, is taken away.
Glory and victory to you, today.
Glory and victory to you, today.
Glory and victory to you, today.
Glory and victory to you, today.
[Music Outro]
[Spoken] Justice was served, in every way.
