Run

this was supposed to be so easy

but the blood seemed to be cursed

we were always just a stones throw away

from everything we ever wanted

daddy's mantra just got caught

in my head children

one of these days

child run

to the sea

head first as though your head's on fire

jump in and redefine your time

and hold on hold on

crushing every fear

let your love lead you on

let your love lead you on and run

run child run

well I put on my heavy coat

and I walked out to the road

and I waited such long long time

with no malice in my heart

I wish you well and now

I call upon my beloved

in the dark so devine

child run

to the sea

head first as though your head's on fire

jump in and redefine the line

and hold on hold on

crushing every fear

let your love lead you on

let your love lead you on and run

run child run

you're going to find out just how heavy happiness can be

less you try now to tote it around in a box made out of lead like me

if you never ever hear a single word I say

hear me now

hear me now
