Run for Your Life [Trijan Refrain]

The sky is falling in tonight,
Stars are chasing you down,
Shattering your dreams in clear sight,
Leading you through this town.
Run for your life, get far away,
Save your fear for another day;
...........................Run for your life,
...........................Run for your life,
And know it will all be okay.

The sky is falling in tonight,
And the moon`s taunting you,
Gripping down on your wrists so tight,
As tears fill eyes of blue.
Run for your life, and don`t look back,
Escape all the skies turning black;
...........................Run for your life,
...........................Run for your life,
And never stray off of your track.

The sky is falling in tonight,
Filling your heart with fear,
You gasp for air, get up and fight,
`Cuz you feel the end near.
Run for your life, cover your eyes,
Ignore all of their white lies;
...........................Run for your life,
...........................Run for your life,
Get away from the falling skies.
