Run Benjamin Lyrics

Wandering through the fields
Playing games with butterflies
Mommy called me for the meal
Miss my Daddy who just died

My sister often comforts me
We live our life pretty good
we are a strong team, we three
although there's often lack of food


Air Raid sirens all around
Machines hum in the background
Listening to a howling sound
makes the house a burial mound

Dust is filling up the air
Bricks and shrapnel everywhere
collateral damage out of sight

Run, run, run
Run Benjamin
Though you're a child
your life is defiled

Run, run, run
Run Benjamin
Your world's running wild
and happiness exiled

The pain and deafness are induced
You walk around, you're confused
Searching through the pile of rubble
feel your family in trouble

You've found two bodies lifeless
The unknown is so unrighteous
Run away from this nightmare

Run, run, run
Run Benjamin
Though you're a child
your life is defiled

Run, run, run
Run Benjamin
Your world's running wild
and happiness exiled


Run, run, run
Run Benjamin
Though you are a child
your life is defiled

Run, run, run
Run Benjamin
Your world's running wild
and happiness exiled

You must kiss your life goodbye
'cause the mighty have spun a lie
Women, children and the innocent die
Makes no sense, let's testify
