He Ran Into The Night

A far away song floats in my mind
With no words I can find
As I try to express
Things forced to repress
For many years
Held back tears
A battle waged inside
That was forced to hide
Now it slips out through the cracks
No longer covering tracks
I run without fear in moonlight
Hope in sight
Down metal stairs to freedom below
The prison memories seem long ago
Heart pounds with joy
That they cannot destroy
