I ran away..

When the world became too overbearing

And the callous men turned savage

I ran away

When love became a long-forgotten illusion

And humanity was feigned by animals

I ran away

When life seemed worse than death

And hope was buried beneath the despair

I ran away

When happiness was an emotion I no longer knew

And anger with its accomplice-violence, hunted in packs

I ran away

I ran away,

From the streets that had no name

From the fire that knew no end

From the devilish faces that knew no shame

From the growing storm that knew no calm

I ran away and I found Him,

He who gave birth to the world

But we created countries

He who gave us the life we know

But we return to him an impious world, we recognise no more.
