| As I walked the busy, empty streets | |
| With the weight of the world on my shoulder | |
| 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, I'm free | |
| I took my life, and I walked away, oh, oh | |
| I'm free, I'm free | |
| I packed my life, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh | |
| 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, I'm free | |
| I took my life, and I walked away, oh, oh | |
| I'm free, I'm free | |
| I packed my past, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh | |
| And I walked away, left the world behind | |
| I just walked away | |
| I just walked away | |
| I'm free, I'm free | |
| I packed my bags, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh | |
| I'm free, I'm free, I'm free | |
| I packed my bags, and I walked away, oh, oh, oh |
