Don't Run

A little boy is sitting all by himself
I see a tear that’s rolling down from his eye
He’s got a bag he’s holding on to so tight
Memories of yesterday are haunting his mind
The shirt he loved was thrown in the dirt
Children laughing how cruel can they be
Everything’s going to change
The future’s wide open don’t wait
I know, and you know you can
Don’t be the one that ran
Going home in the rain
Trying to get back as fast as he can
Looking over his shoulder in fear
Closing his eyes wishing they’d leave him alone
Why cant someone give him a hand
A friend to stand there right by his side
Everything’s going to change
The future’s wide open don’t wait
I know, and you know you can
Don’t be the one that ran
Don’t let them break your spirit tear you apart
You have a heart so true so much to give
You are strong and proud
And you’re gaining ground
Everything’s going to change
The future’s wide open don’t wait
I know, and you know you can
Don’t be the one that ran
Everything’s going to change
The future’s wide open don’t wait
I know, and you know you can
Don’t be the one that ran
Don’t be the one that ran
