I Can't Live A Lie (Running For My Life)

I'll see you in the future (when we're older)

I'll see you in the future when we're older.

Eight years since the boy was taken.

And we are full of stories to be told.

The train pulled into the station.

Cross my heart, and hope to die.

The father waited anxiously.

I'll see you, with your laughter lines.

The son waited.

Changes on our hands and on our faces.

Wrinkles marred the father's face.

Memories are mapped out by the lines we'll trace.

Youth smoothed the son's face.

I'll see you in the future when we're older.

Dark eyes met light.

And we are full of stories to be told.

Smiles found both faces.

Cross my heart and hope to die.

Suddenly running, they crashed into each other.

I'll see you with your laughter lines.

For the first time in years, a smile lit up the father's face.

Ashen faces in cold breeze.

And for the first time in eight years, bright laughter rang out.

Ashen faces in cold breeze.

Tears fell down weathered cheeks.

All the stories you will leave.

Gentle arms hugging tight.

I'll see you in the future when we're older.

Not a boy any longer, the young man smiles at his father.

And we are full of stories to be told.

Stories are told.

Cross my heart and hope to die.

Pain is shared.

I'll see you with your laughter lines.

For the first time in years, they laugh together.

I'll see you in the future when we're old.

For the first time in years, they are together.

I'll see you in the future when we're old.

The young man gazes back at the train that brought him back to his father.

That brought him home.

And he smiles, turning his face to the sun.

They leave.
