I opened my eyes To a cloud in the distance I saw the fire I choked on the smoke I saw the demise Of a life just as I knew it Like a sunrise, a sunset Never to be seen again My mother told me They promised this was good She told me this was a lie That she never understood Run, she told me: Run As fast as fear will take you Go, put on your mask Go, and don't you dare look back You'll grow up too fast You'll grow to resent me But if it means you live another day Then run, child of war So I ran So I ran So I ran until my tears grew cold
