I've been calling you to go to the city
I've been watching you every day
Now I'm paying for a one way ticket
for a ship that sails the opposite way
And you laugh and you cry
and you live and you die
cause you don't really know who you are
All alone in this world
orphan boy orphan girl
cause you don't really know who you are
Run baby run
my hands release you
baby run baby run
just as fast as you can
Run till your legs lead your heart to the real truth
You're my daughter my son
so run baby run baby run
Hear me laughing as you run from your calling
See me crying see me crying in the storms that rage
One way or another you will be going
To obey is such an easier way
And you laugh and you cry
and you live and you die
cause you don't really know who you are
All alone in this world
orphan boy orphan girl
cause you don't really know who you are
Run baby run
my hands release you
baby run baby run
just as fast as you can
Run till your legs lead your heart to the real truth
You're my daughter my son
so run baby run baby run
Run run away from me, you end up running right in to me.
Run run, run away from me, you end up running right in to me.
You're my daughter my son, run baby run.
