acousticmaddie and bill white - You Got What It Takes

from Night Terrors by Bill White

lyrics

1. Her eyes reflecting the shadows
Of hours on the darkest of seas
Her foots carried scares of thousands of miles
that she walked to finally be free
And they carry the burden of leaving the loved
Those that could not walk so far
and every night they call out their pain
under the light of a thousand stars

Chorus
Run Little sister as fast as you can
Run Little brother Rise to a man
Run for your Mother thats left in her bed
Run for the father that you know is dead
Stronger and stronger for every Mile
Stronger and stronger is Every child
Inside the paint slowly breaks
Run child you got what it takes

2. He is old with Gray hair and limping
The man at the refugee camp
He Still feels the bullet from theM16
When he falls asleeps in a shattering cramp
And they carry the burden of leaving the loved
Those that could not walk so far
and every night they call out their pain
under the light of a thousand stars

Chorus
Run Little sister as fast as you can
Run Little brother Rise to a man
Run for your Mother thats left in her bed
Run for the father that you know is dead
Stronger and stronger for every Mile
Stronger and stronger is Every child
Inside the paint slowly breaks
Run child you got what it takes

3
The Little One cries in the silent Night
The One that is here all alone
Hej tried not cry and be brave and strong
When he heard His Mom in the phone
And they carry the burden of leaving the loved
Those that could not walk so far
and every night they call out their pain
under the light of a thousand stars

Chorus
Run Little sister as fast as you can
Run Little brother Rise to a man
Run for your Mother thats left in här bed
Run for the father that you know is dead
Stronger and stronger for every Mile
Stronger and stronger is Every child
Inside the paint slowly breaks
Run child you got what it takes
