Born to Run
By: Cesca
Age: 14

look up to the sky
you watch the butterfly
you mother watches the time fly
oh, how you look to the sky

born to run
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain

you learn quick
you feel the whip flick
your mother gives you an encouraging lick
oh, how you learn quick

born to run
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain

the time comes near
you were so dear
you lost your mother only last year
oh, how the time comes near

born to run 
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain

your ribbons hang above your door
you never were such a bore
your mother always left the core
oh, how your ribbons hang above your door

born to run 
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain

how your life comes to an end
now your at the river bend
your mother went there and left you to fend
oh, how your life comes to an end

born to run
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain

you go in the truck
you have no luck
your mother went in that same truck
oh, how you go in the truck

born to run
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain

you go fly
high in the sky
your mother there, your safe and dry
oh, how you go fly

born to run 
born to play
end the slaughter
end the pain
