Run Away
The story is some children flee from home
When they reach their coming of age
Because of whom they love
Some are beaten or shunned
By crazy old-fashioned ways
As the pages turn
In their books of life, they learn
How life is not fair
'Cause when a boy loves a boy
Or a girl loves a girl
It can be a cruel, bitter world
And they
Run away
From the prejudices of life
Oh, they run away
From the pain they feel inside
Others forced away
To live out on the streets
And then run away
From danger they're bound to meet
Self worth stripped away
How can they be blamed if they stray
We should pray ev'ryday for runaways
Never should a childhood fairytale
Become a living hell, oh no
Unconditional love
Should easily come
To ev'ry daughter and son
Yes, ev'ryone
Yes, they
Run away
From the prejudices of life
Oh, they run away
From the pain they feel inside
Others forced away
To live out on the streets
And then run away
From danger they're bound to meet
Self worth stripped away
How can they be blamed if they stray
We should pray ev'ryday for runaways
It's a tragedy to grow-up in fear and hide
One's true feeling inside
People compelled to lie
And play "straight" to get by
Will break so many hearts in time, oh
All deserve to love freely till "The End"
Whether they love a woman or man
Because to love is to love
Who's anyone to judge
And bring someone to run
Bring one to run
According to a recent study
Seven percent of the U.S. homeless population
Are under the age of eighteen
And a shocking forty percent
From this segment of the homeless
Are LGBTQ
The report indicates many of them
Ran away because of the following reasons
Abuse - physical, emotional, or sexual
Family rejection due to
Sexual orientation or gender identity
Aging out of the foster care system
And finally financial and emotional neglect
Run away
From the prejudices of life
Make them run away
From pain they feel inside
Make them run away
And live out on the streets
Make them run away
It's a crying shame
And they
Run away
From the prejudices of life
Oh, they run away
From the pain they feel inside
Others forced away
To live out on the streets
And then run away
From danger they're bound to meet
Self worth stripped away
How can they be blamed if they stray
We should pray ev'ryday for runaways
Run away, run away, run away
When they reach their coming of age
Because of whom they love
Some are beaten or shunned
By crazy old-fashioned ways
As the pages turn
In their books of life, they learn
How life is not fair
'Cause when a boy loves a boy
