run away ©2025 jonathan sanson

he shuffles down the street his hand outstretched
most people turn away from such a wretch
just another bum out on the street today
pay him no attention perhaps he'll go away
there's nothing to be done just turn around
leave him in his filth there on the ground
no way that we undo what starts today the only thing to do is
run away

we run away, just run away
we run away, just run away

our system doesn't work this much is clear
too many fall through cracks and disappear
society's at fault no one's to blame
no time to help the man without a name
not a question who's right who’s wrong
it’s just that they are weak and we are strong
why is so everybody full of greed when so many others
stand alone in need

we run away, just run away
we run away, just run away

the church can rescue some the rest must go
human sacrifice is still the big show
not quite the christians and the lions … more like a lifetime … locked in irons
we leave them there the poor
and we run away

we run away, just run away
we run away, just run away

asleep to suffering, now it’s time to wake
we need learn to give and not just take
it's the human choice we need to make
we better hurry now before to late
and don’t run away

don’t run away, don’t run away, please don’t run away, don’t run away
