I was born too soon, eager to enter the world
I grew up too fast, I forgot to be a child

This is a race against time I have to win
Don´t stand in my way tonight
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breathe
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

I was thirsty for freedom, thirsty for love and passion
I ran away trying to find the answers to riddles torturing my mind

Appearances and attractive colours
Don´t try to deceive my eyes
Now I need to cut off the strings
That are tying me down!

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breathe
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

This is your way, this is your life
This is your voice, this is your choice

Haven´t you heard the deadly siren´s call
Haven´t you heard the warning signs at all
O Mother please forgive me

I can still hear my father, unable to see the light in my eyes
O Mother please forgive me
How could I be blind to your own tears

This is my choice, my fight, my struggle for life
I will hold on against all the winds
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burned
I tried to win the race against time
But forgot the one I loved

This is a race against time I have to win
Don´t stand in my way tonight
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway
