I hope and I laugh - I run and I live
And I hope and I laugh - I run and I'm free
My life began so unburdened
Born well-off as the son of a royal man
The days were bright and peaceful were the nights
Before this war and the hardship it brought
The lord that we pledged loyalty to was defeated
We lost a part of our lives, a part of our freedom
As the loser I served under hellish torture
The secret escape was the only choice
I hope and I laugh - I run and I live
And I hope and I laugh - I run and I'm free
I'm free - from the shadows of this world
Finally free - from the binding that held me
And I feel the great strength
When a new day arises
Now I live in the shadows, as the gentle breeze at night
My home is the forest - far away from any light
So I trek on, days after days alone
To see what destiny wants to bring me
So I continue running, I'll run as fast as the wind
Until peace is found
And so I continue running, I'll search every place
Where I can endure
