Looking down I watch the night

Running from the sun

Orphan stars and city lights

Fading one by one

Oh, sweet memories

I call on you now

Two too many hearts been broken

Along this lonely road

Steel grey eyes can shine the lies

Until they look like gold

Cold city sidewalks can turn your heart to stone

The street won't defeat me

Cause I've got the will, I'll survive

I don't mind runnin' alone

I believe that every soul

Has a song to sing

The spirit's locked in every man

Waiting for a wing

Oh, so much is wasted

And oh, so little used

The trick of the dreamer

Is keeping yourself from the blues

And I don't mind runnin'

Everyone's a hero

If you want to be

Everyone's a prisoner

Holding their own key

And every step I take

And every move I make

Always one step closer

I don't mind runnin' alone

Laughing children echo down

The concrete alleyways

Oh, their voices

Calling, calling, calling yesterday

Oh, sweet memories

Returning to me now

When young eyes saw clearly

Everyone's a hero

If you want to be

Everyone's a prisoner

Holding their own key

And every step I take

And every move I make

Always one step closer

I don't mind runnin' alone
