Verse One
Break away from the way you live you life,
And fly like a kite.
Take that airplane to the land that far away,
New worlds everyday.
See the people and the rhythms of their life,
You will feel no strife.
After smiles and the food that they bring,
You will want to come again.
Chorus
Run away, run away, run away with me;
Living life free.
Run away, run away, run away with me;
And you will see.
Verse Two
Hop on board we're almost on our way,
Life brings a whole new day.
Down the mountains, past the rivers to the sea,
Floating like you are free.
Lost in alley way mazes like a dream,
Minds alive as we gleam.
Sun is set and the night is high,
Souls content as way lie.
Chorus
Run away, run away, run away with me;
Living life free.
Run away, run away, run away with me;
And you will see.
Run away, run away, run away with me;
Run away with me.
