'run lucus run' summertime when we were kids hanging out by the water's edge me and lucas we'd share our hopes and dreams those days they ain't so far away as they seem city nights in the summertime i could hear his mom and daddy fight i could hear every word they said i'd just pray there in my bed, 'run lucas run' one day i came down to the water's edge found lucas crying with his head in his hands i looked at him, he looked away to hide the bruise upon is face years go by and kids are cruel they catch up to lucas after school he'd look to me, i'd look away under my breath in shame i'd say, 'run lucas run' i regret some of what i've done, but mostly it's the things that i didn't do when those in need they crossed my path they need help just like me and you so lend an ear or a helping hand to a child who just doesn't understand you don't have to do this all alone lost track of lucus when we were 17 then one day i saw his face up there on tv he got caught up in something that just couldn't be undone they caught up to him after only 2 days on the run i regret some of what i've done, but mostly it's the things that i didn't do when those in need they crossed my path they need love just like me and you so lend an ear or a helping hand to a child who just doesn't understand you don't have to face this all alone they found him hanging in his cell... all by himself
