[Intro: Veronica Bordacchini]
Run, boy, run until your lungs give out
(They are bleeding)
Walk the earth with no regret
Follow your heart one step beyond the horizon
(Trust me)
Don't let your fears hold you back
'Cause life is in your hands

[Verse 1: Francesco Paoli]
Where are we going, Mother?
Where do we come from?
What is the purpose of life?
I think I've gone too far
And now I feel so lost
But at the same time so alive

I crossed the very thin line
Between right and wrong
Ending up where pleasure is turned to pain and good men into monsters
My ego led me astray
Till I've become a ghost
And all that's left is just your voice that echoes
In my empty head, loud

[Refrain: Veronica Bordacchini, Francesco Paoli]
Run, boy, run until your lungs give out
(I never meant to hurt you)
Walk the earth with no regret
(I just felt this fire inside)
Follow your heart one step beyond the horizon
(August 21st)
Don't let your fears hold you back
The day you watch me die!
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Sorry for making you cry!
Sorry for making you grieve for me!
Oh, Mother, forgive me, forgive me!

[Verse 2: Francesco Paoli]
How could I do this to myself?
How could I do this to you
And still deserve your love?
I wish I could release you from all this sorrow
I wish it wasn't me
I wish I was never born

Yet there's this song in my head
A song about remorse
That I won't hold inside my pen 'cause it might be the last
I need you to know I'm sorry
And that I haven't forgotten
The things you told me when I was a kid, they're still here
Forever stuck in mind just like daggers through my heart!

[Refrain: Veronica Bordacchini]
Run, boy, run until your lungs give out
Walk the earth with no regret
Follow your heart one step beyond the horizon
Don't let your fears hold you back
'Cause life is in your hands
'Cause life is in your hands!
[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Sorry for making you cry!
Sorry for making you grieve for me!
Oh, Mother, forgive me, forgive me!

[Outro: Francesco Paoli & Veronica Bordacchini]
Before our fate unite
We die together and are born again
This day, August 21st, August 21st!
