Running through the frozen rain
Funning from the horrors that lay behind
She runs to find a better place
Through the freezing rain

Obstacles stand in the way
Pushing her far from her goal
Closer to beginning than end
Crying waiting to be caught,
Taken back

To the place where suffering is defined
Where hope is non-existent
And no one escapes

Until now
She’s gone
Yet so close to returning
Lightning makes the sky ignite
Only for a second
Long enough for her to see
The tunnel that will take her to freedom
