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 forever
Some 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 we go
(When will we go)
When will I laugh
What will I do
Where will I go when all this is through
(When will we go)
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
