Wills Fallow

Boy's chasing tails at the mire
He's digging for diamonds in the dirt
Heels blistered, burnin' like they're wildfire
A beggar's harvest on fruitless earth

The vultures circle, their traps are set
Down in the hollow where the soil's wet
Each thread weighs heavy, your legs are spent
But keep on running, you're not done yet

Eyes ahead and run, boy, run, hunt that horizon
Catch your breath and turn back, turn from the water's edge
Face the wind and run, boy, run, brave and defiant
And I will run beside you, always, dearest friend

Boy's wading through a boundless thicket
It's every thorn striking his skin
Trees woven, twisted, rot deep-rooted
Skeletal limbs that welcome him

The wolves are hungry, the pack's caught scent
But keep on running, there's still hope left

Eyes ahead and run, boy, run, hunt that horizon
Catch your breath and turn back, turn from the water's edge
Face the wind and run, boy, run, brave and defiant
And I will run beside you, always, dearest friend
