I was born too soon, eager to enter the world
I grew up too fast, I forgot to be a child

This is a race against time I have to win
Don't stand in my way tonight
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breathe
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

I was thirsty for freedom, thirsty for love and passion
I ran away trying to find the answers to riddles torturing my mind

Appearances and attractive colours
Don't try to deceive my eyes
Now I need to cut off the strings
That are tying me down

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breathe
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

This is your way, this is your life
This is your voice, this is your choice...

Haven't you heard the deadly siren's call
Haven't you heard the warning signs at all
Oh Mother, please forgive me

I can still hear my father
Unable to see the light in my eyes
O Mother, please forgive me
How could I be blind to your own tears?

This is my choice, my fight, my struggle for life
I will hold on against all the winds
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breathe
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breathe
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

This is a race against time I have to win
Don't stand in my way tonight
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway
