Run, little girl,
Run from it all.
I'll pick you up,
If ever you fall.

Keep going, keep going,
Never look back.
For you, I'll do anything,
I'll bend 'till I crack.

I'll try to keep you,
Safe from your fears.
I'll lift you up;
Wipe all of your tears.

Run, little girl,
Run far away.
Ignore what they'll do,
Forget what they'll say.

Run to the place,
Where the lilies grow white,
Where the sun shines at day,
And the stars shine at night.

Where the clouds are like pearls,
And the sea is like glass.
Where the leaves never fall,
After they have turned brass.

Where the rain's never wet,
And the snow's never cold.
Where you can't feel the pain,
And you never grow old.

Where the song's always sweet,
And the apples are, too;
Where there's always a hug,
Waiting somewhere for you.

Run, little girl,
You're never alone.
I'll always be with you.
I'm waiting.
Come home.
