”Man on the Run”
by Christopher Moody

Just a child, very innocent, not wild
Not special, just a child
Six years old, going on seven
Very happy, living in heaven

Why I was chosen, I’ll never know
From that day on, there was no glow
Life became hell, inside of me
And I decided to let it be.

No one knew I was so sad,
I believed I was just bad
Life was not easy and sometimes it was hard
Couldn’t let any know what was inside.

When drugs and alcohol didn’t work anymore,
I just wanted to close life’s door
Wanting to feel normal was not in the cards
Learning to accept was in the stars.

Peace came in the years to come,
I was no longer a man on the run.


There will be no public service.
