Why do some stars have to fall? 
 And why do some hearts have to break? 
 But today your only question for me is 
 Can we go outside and play? 
    Why do some ears miss the call? 
 Is this free will or are we pawns of fate? 
 But today your only question for me is 
 Can I stay up late?   
 And son, I don't have all the answers 
 And I don't want to let you down 
 All I know is that I'm running 
 Towards this hope that I can't see 
 And son, I hope you'll follow me   
 Why is the moon turning red? 
 Why is there war, why is there hatred? 
 But tonight all you ask of me is 
 One more story before bed   
 And son, I don't have all the answers 
 And I don't want to let you down 
 All I know is that I'm running 
 Towards this hope that I can't see 
 And son, I hope you'll follow me   
 Keep on running, child 
 Keep on running 
 Keep on running 
 'Til the race is done
