The wind in my hair and the sun in my eyes
This is the life that I have chose
I must keep running until I fold
I can't live with the lies that some people have told
Chorus
Send my mother a lock of my hair
Send my father the ribbons he gave me
Tell them I hate it to say "Fare thee well"
But I can't live with lies that some people tell
Post Chorus
Why can't the world be like little yellow roses?
Lies they don't know, truth only they grow
I've always believed all men are equal
Whatever color, religion or land
I can't stand still and watch it destroyed
So, I'll keep running 'til it's forever banned
Chorus
Send my mother a lock of my hair
Send my father the ribbons he gave me
Tell them I hate it to say "Fare thee well"
But I can't live with lies some people tell
Post Chorus
Oh, why can't the world be like little yellow roses?
Lies they don't know, truth only they grow
