Song lyrics

Send "So Far Away" ringtones to your cell

This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
And these are my dreams
That I’d never lived before

Somebody shake me
Cause I,
I must be sleeping

Chorus:
Now that we're here
It's so far away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
And all the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here,
It's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I’ve never said before
I think I’m doing okay
And this is the smile
That I’ve never shown before

Somebody shake me
Cause I
I must be sleeping

Chorus:
Now that we're here
It's so far away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
And all the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here,
It's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

I’m so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

Chorus:
Now that we're here
It's so far away
All the struggle
We thought was in vain
And all the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here,
It's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

35 posts	Look guysm this song it's simple ok?? he's talking about a life that he did not like before & he's living a life now that he likes & can't believe that is happening so that's why he says "somebody shake me cuz i......" ok thnx!

5 posts	u guys really didn't understand the meaning, did you? it's about a turning point in the life of a person, it's when the person who is singing it comes back from a depression, when he starts living again as normal. he says that he is afraid and it's all about how everything is changing because he doesn't know how to live the normal life anymore, you know? i just wanted to say that because i really understand him... well, tanhks.

16 posts	The meaning about this song is that he has had a hard time in his life / depressions, and now it feels like he is finaly getting out of it..! "this is the smile, that I never sheared before" it meens that it's been a while since he last smiled and now it feels like his getting out of it "I'm so afraid of waiking, please don't sahke me" = dont wake me up from this dream, no I'm finaly getting control btw; sorry my english, alot of wrong-spelled words

57 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Its stupid how people haven't understood this song! Its a classic! The song is about the satisfaction of success/happiness you get after struggling a lot. Its about the good times that follow the years of pain. I can relate to this song to some extent..Sniff!
