Destination Unkown

Hey little brother,
Tell mum I will miss her,
How thankful I am that she was always there,
That she bought me up and that she cared.
Thank the old man for bringing me up in this world,
And tell sister how she is such a beautiful girl.
Thank everyone for what they have done,
Tell mum and dad I was proud to be their son.
Give them all a hug and a kiss,
Because all of them will be missed.
I dont wanna take this trip,
I dont wanna leave you for so long,
But I have to go and you got to be strong.
Make sure things dont break down,
Tell everyone not to frown,
They will always be on my mind,
Because a bad thought about you all I cannot find.
Its just that I need a break,
I need to get away until a later day.
I will see you all just not now,
So just accept it and dont ask how,
I will get out, escape from this place,
Dont cry, wipe that tear from your face.
It will be ok, please believe me,
One day you will too get free.
I dont know where I will go and how I will get there,
Just anywhere else, I dont care.
