When I walk away, will I be alone
Will the darkness drown me
Soak everything I own
Will I get no comfort, will I find no rest
When I walk away
From all my happiness

Will there be more questions
Just an endless cosmic test
Will I get an ending or will I have to guess
What will happen to me
At least what will happen next
When I walk away
From all my happiness

And when I walk away
From everything I’ve ever known
All the stories I was sold
That I thought were truth be told
Will you stay
Or will you leave it all behind with me
See what we can find
Sometimes happiness can make you blind

When I walk away, will I wander long
How far will I walk until I find where I belong
What will the streets of all the cities
That I pass through ask of me
When I walk away from all prosperity

And when I walk away
From everything I’ve ever known
All the stories I was sold
That I thought were truth be told
Will you stay
Or will you leave it all behind with me
See what we can find
Sometimes happiness can make you blind

When I walk away, what will I walk into
Another covenanted world,
Another damaged view
Just don’t you let the rumors rage
But tell ‘em why I left
Why I walked away from all that loveliness
Yeah why I walked away
From all my happiness, oh all my happiness
