Lyrics of

Running Child

	
Tell me baby - do you want to dance?
While the music is still playing
could you take a chance?
Life is easy - and the life you choose
Well you've got everything to gain
And nothing much to loose.

I don't care about the laughter and the wine
It's you that I've been thinking of
There's something moving in my soul
And I don't dare to call it love

You are free as the southern bird

Reclining in the sky

I won't tell you how to live or how to die.
When you fly I'll know it has to be,
Runnin' child - run with me.


Tell me baby do you want to go

Where the life is so much better than
The one you know
Time's a stranger
When you're on the road
You won't miss a single hour
Let me ease your load

You are free as the southern bird
Reclining in the sky
I won't tell you how to live or how to die.
When you fly I'll know it has to be,
Runnin' child - run with me.
