I Ran -
I shared an apple with a friend
I didn't know we were sinners, and
God's calling He said no don't eat of the apple
Too ashamed we had our faces
And then we ran we were disgraces
I was disobedient did not obey so I ran
I held a door open for a woman
Just trying to be a gentleman
She was offended cussed me out
So I turned my head and ran south
I shared my pains with my family
And fellow humans and some friends
No one cared so I cried
... all alone broken so I died
Yes! Before I laid down and died
I hid, I ran
