[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
