Runaways
It was raining on the night they decided to run;
   no one knew why the left.
They left without a trace, confusion clouding their faces,
   and all they took with them was hope for survival...
       ...

When your heartbeats drum their message of love.
My heart soars like the birds flying above.
As flashing thunder streaks across dark skies,
I will come swiftly, believe not their lies.

If any would stop me, my rage I’ll display.
Nothing or no one will stand in my way.
True love...

Runaways
Like a fabric that is strong,
but damp all the way through,
my body, soul, and mind,

and become what I know....

The Runaways
Me and my friends were known as the runaways
I guess we earned that title
Every weekend we ran away from home

Just a group of kids having fun
Until one weekend we lost one of...

When the Outcasts Meet the Runaways
When the Outcasts Meet the Runaways 

When the outcasts meet the runaways,
and the rejects meet the lost.
All those who feel stepped on, 
all those society tossed.

When the odd ones lift the fallen, and the fallen rise up strong. 
All those who feel unwelcome,
 all those...

Runaways
Betrayed innocence
Feet step from the city bus
Their eyes fixed in awe
Where will the new roads take them?
May they soon be led back home...

Reluctant to be a child
Unsupervised in the wild
Never dreamed of trafficking 
All the screams inside happening
Wide eyed and busy tail
All points bulletin for sale
Youth is lost sold to a John
Simple teen years now gone...
