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....;)
