Lyrics
(Verse 1)
LITTLE FEET ON THE PAVEMENT, MOVING SO FAST,
TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM A TROUBLED PAST,
EYES WIDE OPEN, BUT THEY’RE FULL OF FEAR,
RUN AWAY CHILD, NO TIME FOR TEARS.
HEART’S BEATING HARD, LIKE A DRUM IN THE NIGHT,
LOOKING FOR A PLACE WHERE YOU WON’T HAVE TO FIGHT,
THE WORLD’S SO BIG, BUT YOU’RE ALL ALONE,
RUN AWAY CHILD, FAR FROM HOME.
(Chorus)
RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD,
SEARCHING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE,
RUN AWAY CHILD, DON’T LOOK BACK,
LEAVING BEHIND THE TROUBLES YOU LACK.
RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD,
LOST IN A WORLD SO UNRECONCILED,
RUN AWAY CHILD, ON THE EDGE OF TIME,
HOPING TO FIND WHAT YOU CAN’T DEFINE.
(Verse 2)
STREETS ARE YOUR FREEDOM, BUT THE NIGHT’S SO COLD,
YOU’RE RUNNING FROM A STORY THAT’S NEVER BEEN TOLD,
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOON,
RUN AWAY CHILD, THE DAWN COMES TOO SOON.
THERE’S A VOICE INSIDE, WHISPERING YOUR NAME,
BUT YOU KEEP ON MOVING, CAN’T PLAY THAT GAME,
THE PAST IS A SHADOW, ALWAYS CLOSE BEHIND,
RUN AWAY CHILD, DON’T BE BLIND.
(Chorus)
RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD,
SEARCHING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE,
RUN AWAY CHILD, DON’T LOOK BACK,
LEAVING BEHIND THE TROUBLES YOU LACK.
RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD,
LOST IN A WORLD SO UNRECONCILED,
RUN AWAY CHILD, ON THE EDGE OF TIME,
HOPING TO FIND WHAT YOU CAN’T DEFINE.
(Bridge)
THE NIGHT IS LONG, AND THE ROAD IS TOUGH,
BUT YOU’VE GOT THE STRENGTH, YOU’RE STRONG ENOUGH,
FIND YOUR WAY, THROUGH THE DARK AND THE PAIN,
RUN AWAY CHILD, DON’T BE IN VAIN.
(Chorus)
RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD,
SEARCHING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE,
RUN AWAY CHILD, DON’T LOOK BACK,
LEAVING BEHIND THE TROUBLES YOU LACK.
RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD,
LOST IN A WORLD SO UNRECONCILED,
RUN AWAY CHILD, ON THE EDGE OF TIME,
HOPING TO FIND WHAT YOU CAN’T DEFINE.
(Outro)
RUN AWAY CHILD, BUT FIND YOUR WAY HOME,
THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU, YOU’RE NOT ALONE,
RUN AWAY CHILD, THE WILD WILL TAME,
AND ONE DAY, YOU’LL STAND WITHOUT SHAME.
