Runaway

She’s riding the train to nowhere And watching the world go past her eyes She’s living the life of a runaway And trying to run from the lies She’s fourteen years too young But she’s been forced to see the truth The family that was supposed to love her Stole her innocent youth She’s lived through things that no one else has Her daddy’s actions have left her scarred Her mama’s deaf ears and blind eyes Have taught her to harden her heart She’s running to the city But running to what she doesn’t know Her home was a place of hell But she doesn’t know where to go This is the story of many young children Teens, on the run in the night Can’t we make it better for them Can’t we make it alright?
