Run Like the Wind

let me slip away into sleep now let me open my dreamers eyes in restless slumber slip away to a dream of summer long ago to walk the paths that only boyhood knew to be once more the manchild beholding all the world within my grasp all the mysteries to be conquered to be the hero for all the world to see this sleeping world gives glimpses of itself as i awaken the steps of roosevelt school footsteps echoing on the ornate marble laughing clear and clean without worry or taint let me slip away into sleep once more let me fly among the stars in wonderful adventure let me run like the wind free once more free
