Sound of a Gun lyrics

In the here and now I wait

Down among the young and the old

Between the moon and the ground I play

With my children in my home

This is for the daughters and sons

Of forgotten ones, learning how to stand

This is for the innocent unknowns

Buried in the sand

I'm running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

Until I'm weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

From the crack in the blackness I wake

It's getting closer every night

And my city playground is a battleground

Between the wrong and the right

I could run free as a child, I was safe and wild

Naked and unarmed

Now I'm grown and safe in my home

But some will never stop

I'm running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

Until I'm weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

The open mouth of the city

Swallowed up the town

With that same old concrete

That I still walk down

And it seems they put a shine

On this place when I was young

And baby, I just don't see it now

I'm running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

Until I'm weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun (x2)
