There was a vacancy,
in the place where my dad should be
Do other children feel this way?
I cried out so loud for him
Who knows where he could have been
I know that I will not be the same

Take me away from all this pain
Just give me a chance to escape these tin walls
'cause I know these walls won't last forever
Some day I'll escape these tin walls

Surrounded but not alone
and trapped by this rootless home
Where will the wind take me today?'cause I was just so confused
With nothing that I could do
I'll show them all I could one day

Take me away from all this pain
Just give me a chance to escape these tin walls
'cause I know these walls won't last foreverSome day I'll escape these tin walls

And someday we'll leave this park of decay
When's that day?
When will we go?
When will I laugh?
What will I do?
Where will I go when all this is through?When will I laugh?
What will I do?

I know it won't last,
know it won't last, forever
I know it won't last,
know it won't last, forever
I know it won't last,
know it won't last, forever

Take me away from all this pain
Just give me a chance to escape these tin walls
'cause I know these walls won't last forever
Some day I'll escape these tin walls
