Run, Forrest, run

Red carpet, flashlights, the glare of the show —
Such a small thing compared to what you'll never know.
What's lost forever will never appear —
In the life of a beggar who collected coins with fear.

Yesterday's day — a suitcase with no handle —
Too heavy to carry, too precious to abandon.
Inside it — some ancient, some bitter truth —
The kind old men pass to their sons in their youth.

Run, Forrest, run beyond the horizon's flame,
Past the distant star in the sky without name.
Run toward the light — love is more than a dream,
The force that turns the Earth — a constant, steady stream.

A gentle piano sound drifts from the curtains' fold,
Fingers go numb — the storm's at hand, the squadron grounds on the shoal.
Turn the yellowed cover of the family's saga old,
Look upon the back — there's the price you're told.

It's what you'd pay to know your name, your roots, your way,
Who you are, where you're from, where you'll stay.
It's worth no more than a ribboned box of sweets —
Left on a bench where some lanky youth retreats.

Run, Forrest, run beyond the horizon's flame,
Past the distant star in the sky without name.
Run toward the light — love is more than a dream,
The force that turns the Earth — a constant, steady stream.

Nothing will ever be alright again, my friend —
You've grown up. Fairy tales have to end.
It's more profitable to write them yourself and sell —
Wholesale, retail, to the highest bidder from hell.

Let the merchants learn the price of a word —
Hard as a stone, sharp as a pin in a shirt.
Behind the merchants — bandits and soldiers in lines —
But the kingdom of the golden calf never lasts — it dies in convulsions.

Run, Forrest, run beyond the horizon's flame,
Past the distant star in the sky without name.
Run toward the light — love is more than a dream,
The force that turns the Earth — a constant, steady stream.

Run, Forrest, run beyond the horizon's flame,
Past the distant star in the sky without name.
Run toward the light — love is more than a dream,
The force that turns the Earth — a constant, steady stream.
