48 hrs

48 hrs -til we sneak to the van

48 hrs-they say I can.

48 hrs-to escape the pain

48 hrs-to again,be sane.

I cant go to sleep-my hearts too loud

My eyes wide open-the hours are vowed.

Bunk beds packed-bikes squeezed tight

Minutes drag-on this dreary night.

48 hrs-and I have my Peace

48 hrs-and the Past will cease.

48 hrs-to grab my young

48 hrs-to hold my tongue.

Cant let it get out-that we’re on our way

To find the Freedom-and safely stay.

Does he have a gun-I know he did

What if he.......-just stay well hid.

48 hrs-and I can smile

48 hrs-to travel that mile.

Just 48 hrs-and I can sleep at night

48 hrs-and we’ll be alright.

What if he finds out-what if he......

Just 48 hrs-to finally be free.
