Taken away

(Edward McBride)

This song describes a young mans utter devastation at losing his wife, he also has a young child. He starts off with heavy drinking until he passes out on the floor. He is not taking care of his child or himself and has given up his passion of singing and playing guitar. He finally comes to his senses and starts to take care of the child and himself. In time he picks up the guitar and starts to play again followed by singing. He enters the Voice and wins. His only regret is that his wife is not with him.

My wife just passed
I have a child
what do I do now
i have some drinks
and then some more
i passed out on the floor

My guitar sits silent
I do not sing
I just want to drink
as I slowly sink
I am depressed
think only about me
I need to change
to save my child

Chorus

The loss of life
is hard to take
My heart hangs 
heavy in my chest
I go to bed
my eyes are red
another lonely night

I give up drink
I get some help
I start to
play my guitar
I have a voice
for the competition
I make it
to the finals

I am so proud
It's overwhelming
I start to 
feel the love
I win it all
I feel such joy
It's really turned around

My heart still aches
my body shakes
I wish she  shared
this with me
A broken man
the mental pain
in time it
will get better

Chorus

The loss of life
is hard to take
my heart hangs
heavy in my chest
I go to bed
my eyes are red
another lonely night
