They walked in doom with steps so light
unaware their minutes few
smiling...laughing at sounds and sights
blissful in the life they knew

We long to lay our children safe
to sleep and dream of freedom's night
where now can they run and play
as we stand uncertain in this plight

Run crowd
run friends
Run people now

Run toward this hell
that runs you down
and fight

Don't take flight
stand in might
So those defenseless
can sleep tight
