Run, Run My Children
 (Paul Gomez & Terence Kennedy)

Down below my window
I see the children play
Laughing while running
Running away

Once I had their dancing feet
And time enough to run
I’d have myself some good times
But now all the good times are done

Chorus
So run, run my children
Run 'till momma calls
Watch where you're running
Nobody likes to fall

Oh, It’s no fun just thinkin’
That you no longer care
I wonder why I left you
I wonder how and where

And though you’re just 'round the corner
You’re with somebody else
You might as well be in heaven
I might as well be in hell

Chorus
So run, run my children
Run 'till momma calls
Watch where you're running
Nobody likes to fall
I said, run, run my children
Run 'till momma calls
Watch where you're running, baby
Nobody likes to fall

Well I spend my time just starin’
I’m a man caught under a spell
Sometimes I feel I’ve murdered
And I'm locked away in a cell 

And whenever I see you passing
With that other guy by your side
Something burns down in me
Something I can’t hide

So, I move up to my window
I go to call your name
But then I see the children runnin’
Runnin’ and playin’ their games
I watch the children running'
They get me going again 

I smile and I say…

Chorus
So run, run my children
Run 'till momma calls
Watch where you're running
Nobody likes to fall
I said, run, run my children
Run 'till momma calls
Watch where you're running
And get up whenever you fall
And get up whenever you fall
