Follow me

Why do some stars have to fall?
And why do some hearts have to break?
But today your only question for me is
Can we go outside and play?

Why do some ears miss the call?
Is this free will or are we pawns of fate?
But today your only question for me is
Can I stay up late?

And son, I don't have all the answers
And I don't want to let you down
All I know is that I'm running
Towards this hope that I can't see
And son, I hope you'll follow me

Why is the moon turning red?
Why is there war, why is there hatred?
But tonight all you ask of me is
One more story before bed

And son, I don't have all the answers
And I don't want to let you down
All I know is that I'm running
Towards this hope that I can't see
And son, I hope you'll follow me

Keep on running, child
Keep on running
Keep on running
'Til the race is done
