We Ran, We Lived

We ran, we lived We ran through the fields naked Yet unafraid of the dangers That lurked in the unknown darkness As the stars wept showers of their once glory A Faded glow to highlight the evening sky We ran rapid like a virus Taking the high ground Marveling over the land we have conquered We came like a breeze unseen but felt Unmatched in the beauty of life We carried our heads high Dancing with freedom as our slave Tossing away the fears of yesterday Breaking the false images of today’s beauty As easily as a vase shattering on the floor We cry out in night No more No more Let the captive bird sing his song of freedom Sing my friend Sing your song Let your notes of love Penetrate our being with a new understanding We ran into there was no where left to run We did not care our backs against the world The sea shore lined as an ally we danced With the sound of the evening tide In the night we lived In the night shall we die
