As I walked the busy, empty streets
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
An ancient voice screamed in my head
Saying: Run boy, run

I waited for the inspiration
Waited for forever or so it seemed
I made my mind up
And started there and then to run boy, run

I'm free (no ties to bind me)
I'm free (left the world behind me)
I took my life and I walked away
Oohooo

I'm free (no ropes to tie me)
I'm free (where no one can find me)
I packed my life and I walked away
Oohohooo

I left the dust of a million dreams
Lying dead by the side of the road
I felt the breath of a brand new day
Make me run boy, run

I'm free (left the world behind me)
I'm free (no ties to bind me)
I took my past and I walked away
Oohooo

I'm free (where no one can find me)
I'm free (no ropes to tie me)
I packed my past and I walked away
Oohohooo

And I walked away
Left the world behind me
I just walked away
(I just walked away)

I'm free (left the world behind me)
I'm free (no ties to bind me)
I packed my past and I walked away
Oohooo

I'm free (where no one can find me)
I'm free (no ropes to tie me)
I packed my past and I walked away
Oohohooo
