He was just a boy I knew
We were friends for a year or two
Then about this time last spring he disappeared
Carrying just a piece of toast with his hopes and fears
Run boy run
Where are you going?
What are you running from?
Have you had enough of this life and been treated wrong?
Have you given up or have you been found?
Or are you in a prison compound?
Don't touch the ground
He has left without a single trace
I barely remember the sweet smile on his face
Did you get hooked on dope and dying in the street?
Or did you jump and watch the Earth shrink beneath your feet?
Don't touch the ground
Run boy run
Where are you going?
What are you running from?
Have you had enough of this life and been treated wrong?
Have you given up or have you been found?
Or are you in a prison compound?
Don't touch the ground
He has left me but boy
Just don't touch the ground
