On the run

I aint doing nothing no more,

For anyone who does not know the score,

Except write and fight for life,

Deserved by all, I call,

And no one answers,

Im aching, im breaking,

Im calling, no one hears,

Light of the world cries,

While the polics try,

To get people high,

 

I aint afraid of any magic,

God always pulls me through,

Ireland, I aint afraid of you,

Follow me, You wont have a clue,

How, after I leave,

To survive, Only grieve,

Another lost son,

Put to the test, on the run.

◄ The End

On the run ►
