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
