When It's Time To Go

When the rain cries out in the daylight
and the rivers run white with foam
When the wind in the trees is screaming
That's when it's time to go

When the world is falling apart 
And the sky turns darker than blue
When the mountains shake with thunder
That's when it's time to go

I will run with the air in my lungs
I will step with the shoes on my feet
I will run to the end of the world
And never return

It's time to go
Take your heart and your soul
And run till the ground runs with your blood
Till your feet are covered in red

Don't stop or it will be too late
When the stars come crashing down
You will still run
And the fabric of life will part for you

Keep running
To find your way forward
When the world burns with fury
That's when you will already be gone

no reason to run then....we can choose to accept that this is the end....Faith is all that can protect us at this point....when the world ends i might just sit and roll up a joint....why not because He Already Knows i smoke....He Knows Everything....i am digging this though ally....;)
