Candy bars
[?] in the yard
Skinny with many battle scars
Fight to the death
And never show your cards
Secret clubs
Paint the forest in our secret gloves
And we never knew what messages
We would receive
On the telephone
That was made with string
Run child
Run so fast that you can't catch your breath
Run so far that you can taste your sweat
Your a meteor and
Jump high
So high that you can touch the birds
So strong you feel it shake the dirt
Then you keep on running
Fortresses
We build with blankets, chairs and rubber bands
We decorated them with pots and pans
And we were safer from the dinosaurs
And the thunderstorms
Lake of fire
We leapt across and felt the flames move higher
And if we slipped, we might have burned alive
But thought it tried, to swallow us
We always rise
Run child
Run so fast that you can't catch your breath
Run so far that you can taste your sweat
Your a miracle
Jump high
So high that you can touch the birds
So strong you feel it shake the dirt
Then you keep on running
Child
