Runaway Child Lyrics by Paceshifters

Where The Rivers Meet

2023

[Verse 1]
Don't go near the orchard to pick your apples
Whispers that you hear, too scared to believe them
For all of those who are missing, the case of a runaway child
They made you believe so

[Chorus]
Following footsteps through the night
On the trail in the moonlight
Trying real hard to set it free
But it will always live inside me
Runaway child, running wild
On the trail in the moonlight
Forget the punches and reality
Know I'm home where the rivers meet

[Verse 2]
No room to speak your language, destroy your valuеs
And if you fail to follow the system, they fuck you up
Thеy kick you, punch you, hurl you against the wall
For all of those who are missing, they ain't runaway childs
They made you believe so

[Chorus]
Following footsteps through the night
On the trail in the moonlight
Trying real hard to set it free
But it will always live inside me
Runaway child, running wild
On the trail in the moonlight
Forget the punches and reality
Know I'm home where the rivers meet

[Bridge]
They kick you, punch you, hurl you against the wall
They kick you, punch you, hurl you against the wall
Runaway child, running wild
Runaway child, running wild
They kick you, punch you, hurl you against the wall
They kick you, punch you, hurl you against the wall

[Outro]
Don't go near the orchard to pick your apples
