Nowhere to Run - Donna Lewis

I can still remember

Each mile I have travelled

Never knowing which way

The road might turn

Now I face the stillness

The city of ruins

Everyone in line waiting too

Blackened are the hearts

Of those who have witnessed

Far into the blue

Out of view

Colours of the dawn

Shrouded completely

Everyday is slow

Sinking low

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

And I stood inside

The silent circle

With a bitter taste

Of changing times

And as the voices run

Run into each other

Did you feel the way

God kissed our eyes

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

There is always time

For us to begin again

I don’t want to sleep

And see a face I once knew

But I have a father

Who is still living

And I have a mother who’s with me too

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide
