I want to play all day
And swim out in the waves
In a lagoon that has no shark to bite my leg
A perfect place
Where we can laugh out loud
With palm trees, an ocean breeze
And never any clouds

Get away
Far away
To a place
I can stay

Feels like summertime
Sun is shining on my face
Feels like summertime
Never want to leave this place

But if I can’t go now
I know someday, somehow


I know You’ve got a place
Designed for me someday
And when my work is done
You’ll fly me there at last
A place that doesn’t take credit cards
Or lots and lots of cash

Get away
Far away
To a place
I can stay

Feels like summertime
Sun is shining on my face
Feels like summertime
Never want to leave this place

But if I can’t go now
I know someday, somehow
You will take me there
Cast away my burdens
Take away my cares

Behind the Song:
'Probably the best rock song on the album. This is definitely Ben’s favorite song, and probably Bob’s, too. Will came up with the spark for this song, and we developed it around his bass line. It’s a classic Audio Adrenaline rock song. It’s about getting away, just wanting to be with the Lord. It’s kind of a symbolic view of paradise and going to heaven, what it feels like when we get glimpses of God’s glory here. The warmth and the freedom all feels like summertime.' - Mark Stuart (Audio Adrenaline)
