A Million Miles Away
Grace's Journey: A Million Miles Transformation
Lyrics
I've got this feeling
I have a certain emotion or sense
And I know it's not just me
This feeling is not unique to me
Everyone's got things they wanna leave
Everyone has things they want to leave behind
Escape the things they can't escape
Desire to escape from unavoidable things
The stuff we try to hide away
Attempting to conceal aspects of ourselves
But grace says, "Put 'em in their place!"
Grace advises confronting these issues
A million miles away-ay-ay-ayy
Symbolic distance from past troubles
And further every day-ay-ay-ayy
Continual progress away from past issues
Since I met You
Referencing a transformative encounter
Everything that I used to carry
Things burdening me in the past
Disappeared in the dust behind me
Left behind and forgotten
You took it all, it's gonna stay
Everything taken away is permanently gone
A million miles away-ay-ay-ayy
Emphasizing the distance from past troubles
A million miles away
Reiteration of being far from past issues
That day, You changed me
A significant change occurred on a particular day
And You made my past, my past
The past has been transformed
All I know is I'm not going back, oh
Firm decision not to revert to the past
What's done is done
Past actions are irreversible
What's gone is gone
Irrevocable losses are accepted
You came to right my every wrong
The speaker's wrongs are corrected
And leave 'em right where they belong
Past mistakes are left behind
A million miles away-ay-ay-ayy
Reiterating the distance from past issues
And further every day-ay-ay-ayy
Continual progress away from past troubles
Since I met You
Reference to the transformative encounter
Everything that I used to carry
Past burdens are no longer present
Disappeared in the dust behind me
The past is left behind and forgotten
You took it all, it's gonna stay
Everything taken away is permanently gone
A million miles away
Reiteration of being far from past issues
It's getting smaller in my rear-view
Past troubles appear smaller with distance
The closer I get to You
Symbolizing approaching spiritual growth
And it's all gonna stay
Reaffirmation that the positive changes will last
A million miles away-ay-ay-ayy
Emphasizing the distance from past troubles
A million miles away-ay-ay-ayy
Repetition for emphasis on the distance
A million miles away-ay-ay-ayy
Symbolic distance from past troubles
And further every day-ay-ay-ayy
Continual progress away from past troubles
Since I met You
Reference to the transformative encounter
Everything that I used to carry
Past burdens are no longer present
Disappeared in the dust behind me
The past is left behind and forgotten
You took it all, it's gonna stay
Everything taken away is permanently gone
A million miles away
Reiteration of being far from past issues
Like the east is from the west
Metaphorical distance like east from west
Like the height is from the depth
Metaphorical depth of transformation
You took it all away
All troubles taken away are permanently gone
It's gonna stay
Reaffirmation that positive changes are lasting
A million miles away
Emphasizing the distance from past troubles
Like the east is from the west
Metaphorical distance like east from west
Like the height is from the depth
Metaphorical depth of transformation
You took it all away
All troubles taken away are permanently gone
It's gonna stay
Reaffirmation that positive changes are lasting
