Lesson 5
“TAKE ME AWAY”
With my song “Take Me Away,” I express my wish to hold my loved ones again. My lyrics also mention how “I just can’t move on” from my grief. Years ago, I wrote a poem named “My Tears Filled an Ocean. It described how grief swept me away. I was powerless to swim against the current. During my hopeless moments, I prayed for intervention and dreamt of seeing my deceased child again. A vision of him underwater helped me survive until I was able to swim out from my ocean of tears onto land again. My most challenging moments have given me lessons of strength and compassion. Sometimes I got caught up in a current, but I had to trust where it was taking me. Do you see a way where you can transform your pain by floating with the current, rather than fighting it? Are you able to envision a new destination, even when you are struggling? Once, I ached for dreams at night to hold my departed loved ones again. It was a revelation when I realized they are always with me, even when I’m awake. Love lives on.

lyrics

TAKE ME AWAY

I’m on a road; I’ve traveled so far
Not sure where I am or where you are
I long to escape when I go to sleep
But my dreams are so vivid; they make me weep
I know you are gone
I just can’t move on

Take me away to a lovely day
Where I’m holding you again
It’s hard to face
I’m crying while I’m dreaming
of seeing you someday
But in my dreams
you take me away

For the first time I’m on my own
Everything’s changed; all that I’ve known
I wanted to leave my sadness behind
But memories of us fill up my mind
I know you are gone
I just can’t move on

Take me away to a lovely day
Where I’m holding you again
It’s hard to face
I’m crying while I’m dreaming
of seeing you someday
But in my dreams
you take me away

Take me away to a lovely day
Where I’m holding you again
It’s hard to face
that you’re gone forever
Every night I pray
In my dreams
you’ll take me away

about

Judy Unger Los Angeles, California

I have been an artist all of her life. Although I played classical guitar in college, I left music behind when I was 21. 30 years later, I began writing songs to help me cope with the challenges in my life. Many of my songs are dedicated to my son, Jason, who died in 1992. I love to inspire hope of healing with my music, because my songs have certainly healed me of any pain. ... more
