lyrics

Look at how far we have come
Right back to where we began
Look at the prizes we won
The future’s ripped out of our hands
Feeling alive is a feeling we lost
As we buried our heads in the sand

Like ghosts in Jerusalem
They left us out in the cold
We’re chased away by them
Even the young and the old
Our home’s now a hostel.
The gardens are dead
Our whole world has melted away
But we can escape and live life instead
Of becoming the sheep that stay

Start running
They’re catching those who don’t
Start living It’s killing those who won’t
Start praying

We can make it
We can make it alive
All our love we can take it
You’re all I need to survive
We’ll find a river
That runs like our blood
Its bounty flows through our hands
Into an Eden, where sun shines on us
I promise you all of that land

Keep running
They’re catching those who don’t
Keep living
It’s killing those who won’t
Keep praying

Keep running
They’ve caught all those who don’t
Keep living
It’s killed all those who won’t
Keep praying
