 Struggling with Runaway? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Can we go away
and never turn around again
On an escapade
and always keep the vision
Can we open out
and spread ourselves around the sand
Captivate the sun
keep the light till the world ends

Runaway
Runaway

Take away the wall
and break away my defense
Candle by our side
and never let the rain begin

Runaway
Runaway

We're a part of a plan
and it's already written
There is no other way
it's inside our every sense

Earth is our island
Earth is our island

Runaway
Runaway

Karma, am I yours
is that your intuition
If that is your word
I'm the definition

Earth is our island
Earth is our island

Runaway
Runaway

In our destinies
that is what was missing
Echo in my mind
even through a distance

Runaway
Runaway

Earth is our island
Earth is our island

We're a part of a plan
and it's already written
Candle by our side
and never let the rain begin
