[Verse]
Feet pound the dirt like a broken drum
The mountain whispers where we come from
The shadows stretch long but we keep stride
No time for fear when you're by my side
[Chorus]
Runaway shadows chasing the day
I’ll keep you safe come what may
Little brother don’t look back now
We’re more than the ghosts of this town
[Verse 2]
Backpack tearing the weight we hold
The wind bites sharp but the nights feel cold
Our stories carved in the bark of trees
We run
We fall
We scrape our knees
[Prechorus]
Through valleys deep
Through skies of gray
I’ll shield you from what’s in the way
[Chorus]
Runaway shadows chasing the day
I’ll keep you safe come what may
Little brother don’t look back now
We’re more than the ghosts of this town
[Bridge]
The rocks may cut the rivers may roar
But I’ll carry you till my legs are sore
The world can break it can bruise it can bend
But this bond won’t snap it’ll never end
