Running Wild

A shadow-tainted temple

Lost and forced to kneel

Afraid, alone, in loudest silence

The heart still tries to feel

Rain, as once the heavens taught us

Sunlight green as fern

Open mouth of all those waters

Hoping tides will turn

Let them run, and dance, and give

Please let them go

Please let them live

Those falling towers

Those falling young

Mothers and fathers

Daughter and son

Just let me run, and play

Please let me run away

To the edge of all dreaming

With such light beneath my chest

Show me mercy, show me tears

Love at our behest

Because I know

The heart still tries to heal

A world lost and forced to kneel

But I keep running

Running wild
