New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song: "So Far Away" by Staind

Many of the songs in this great feature are unknown to the masses, some one somewhat known but underrated, and some are both.  All have one thing in common:  they did not reach the Top 10 but should have.




This great song from Staind went to #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart and is one of the longest-running #1's in that genre's history.  Yet the song only peaked at #24 overall.
"So Far Away"
Staind
 
Words by Aaron Lewis, Music by Staind
 



This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping


Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all of mistakes one life can take
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today


These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping


Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all of mistakes one life can take
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today


I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please dont shake me


Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all of mistakes one life can take
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today.
