letra de run brother run - phyllis sinclair

[verse 1]
hurry, brother, don’t look back
run like a deer for the woods
hurry, brother, don’t look back
run like a deer for the woods
about this time, they’ll know that we’re gone
they’re gonna do what is for our own good
i’m tired of working in the paid man’s field
they pay him for his so-called home
four years working like a chain gang, you
i’m only twelve years old
run, brother, run

[verse 2]
up ahead in the dragline, brother
wolves and the coyotes beg
they’re hungry for a taste of fresh blood, brother
better save a breath to pray
sleep will bе light in that timberline
fear will chеw at our bones
but i’d rather spend the night shivering in that ice
than warm in some cold h-llhole
run, brother, run

[chorus]
run, brother, run
the hounds are barking at our heels
they need someone to till the fields
bale the hay, cob the corn
work the moon and early morn’
run, brother, run, we’ll make it home
[verse 3]
don’t slow down, nightfall’s coming
to hide us from the hunter’s trail
those thin-slit eyes that stare us to the ground
won’t stop until we’re back in their hill
ice water fills my gumboots, brother
tree limbs, they tear at my clothes
my lungs burn hot like a back-handed slap
my feet are bitter cold
run, brother, run

[chorus]
run, brother, run
the hounds are barking at our heels
they need someone to till the fields
bale the hay, cob the corn
work the moon and early morn’
run, brother, run, we’ll make it home

[verse 4]
did you hear last night in the full moon light
distant voices closing in?
i swore we were found
and with howls all around, we were daniel in the lion’s den
echoes raised up high and bang in the dark
they sacrificed their skin for our bones
now i’d rather trust a den of blood-hungry wolves
than wolves hidden in sheep’s clothes
run, brother, run
[chorus]
run, brother, run
the hounds are barking at our heels
they need someone to till the fields
bale the hay, cob the corn
work the moon and early morn’
run, brother, run, we’ll make it home
run, brother, run, we’re almost home

[outro]
run, brother, run
run, brother, run
run, brother, run
