The Runaway Girl

Lonely she walks, people stare and talk
Shes on the run - from her life
The runaway girl
Shes the dark one, on the run
Hesitating
Thinking
The runaway girl
Police surround her,
Lights shine,
"are you OK little girl"
she answers "I'm fine"
The runaway girl
Police stare endlessly at the little girls face
a women walks towards her - showing warm embrace
The runaway girl
She looks around runs & runs,
air pumping through her lungs,
and everyone shouts - to the runaway girl.
