Run

Run, pat… pat…run

The sound of my feet against the floor 

Father is gone; he went to war.

Run, pat…pat…pat…run

The sound of my feet against the floor. 

Mother is gone; can they take any more?

Beat, beat, beat, beat

The sound of my heart and the sound of my feet.

Safe! Yet the feeling is bittersweet;

Home…gone, family…gone 

Gone…

Gone…

Gone.

Now I’m wading through a sea of sadness .

Pat, pat, beat, pat, pat, beat .

Nothing can now save me from madness.
