I've been calling you to go to the city
I've been watching you every day
Now I'm paying for a one way ticket
For a ship that sails the opposite way
And you laugh and you cry
And you live and you die
'Cause you don't really know who you are
All alone in this world
Orphan boy, orphan girl
'Cause you don't really know who you are
Run baby run
My hands release you
Baby run baby run
As fast as you can
Run till your legs lead your heart to the real truth
You're my daughter, my son,
Run baby run, baby run
Hear me laughing as you run from your calling
See me crying in the storms that rage
One way or another, you will be going
To obey is such an easier way
My hands release you
Run baby run
I release you
Go ahead, try to run away from me
Run, run, run away from me
You end up running right into me
Run, run, run away from me
You end up running right into me
I'm your Father, my daughter, my son
Run baby run
Run baby run, baby run
