As I walked the busy, empty streets
With the weight of the world on my shoulder
An ancient voice screamed in my head
Saying, run, boy, run
I waited for the inspiration
Waited for forever, or so it seemed
I made my mind up and started there and then
To run, boy, run
I'm free, I'm free
I took my life, and I walked away, oh, oh
I'm free, I'm free
I packed my life, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh
I left the dust of a million dreams
Lying dead by the side of the road
I felt the breath of a brand new day
Make me run, boy, run
I'm free, I'm free
I took my life, and I walked away, oh, oh
I'm free, I'm free
I packed my past, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh
And I walked away, left the world behind
I just walked away
I just walked away
I'm free, I'm free
I packed my bags, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
I packed my bags, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh
