I am a child I am a sanctuary Wild at my mother's knee Freedom has a piece of me Every night I run away Loose the nooses and drift astray Chasing dreams into outer space Trying to face The day Living life Against the law Forcing us all to endure Sneaking home to close the door Every night we run away Loose the nooses and drift astray Chasing dreams into outer space Trying to face The day Every night we do our best to lose it Skinning up and chasing better days Getting up and moving to the music O dance my darling lady fair My darling mayflower Show me just how much you dare Forget our daytime labour We're in the wind You feel us in the breeze Teaching leaves To grow the trees Smoothing Daytime memories And every night we run away Loose the nooses and drift astray Chasing dreams into outer space Trying to face The day
