    Lyrics:
    Take the children and yourself
    And hide out in the cellar
    By now the fighting will be close at hand
    Don't believe the church and state
    And everything they tell you
    Believe in me, I'm with the high command
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    There's a gun and ammunition
    Just inside the doorway
    Use it only in emergency
    Better you should pray to God
    The Father and the Spirit
    Will guide you and protect from up here
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    Swear allegiance to the flag
    Whatever flag they offer
    Never hint at what you really feel
    Teach the children quietly
    For some day sons and daughters
    Will rise up and fight while we stood still
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
    Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
    Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
    (Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
    (Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
    (Can you hear me running) hear me running?
    Calling you, calling you
    Songwriters: Michael Rutherford / Baxter Robertson

      Loved the song, completely oblivious to the meaning when it came out -when I was much younger-probably much more self absorbed/much older and still Love the song - just wondering if Mankind will ever know what it was given and how Mankind has destroyed all that was given to it! It's a slippery slope!

    There is something emotionally deep within this song. I literally choke up when I hear it sometimes. It's like I'm hearing something beyond what I'm actually hearing. If it was relevant when it was written in the 80s, it has come around to new relevancy or maybe just closer to a manifestation of its relevancy. Somebody out there knows what I'm saying. Just plain heavy lyrics and music.

    Back in 1985, when this song first came out, we were mostly all still immersed in "normal". How little did we know that a few short years later, the words we listened to back then would have so much meaning. Normal is long gone, guys. I don't fear what is coming because I have Jesus, but if I didn't have Him, it would be terrifying. My hope today is found in the Bible, especially Psalm 91.❤

      I agree with you, there are many religions. And the way to find the right one is through a study of God's word the Bible.
      Study by subject. Some will teach things about something that the Bible DOESN'T teach.

      Wake Up America, your nation is being corrupted from within and too often with you uninformed permission.
      Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

Absolutely stunning. And this song in particular is especially haunting and dark, I love it!

May 5th.1993 the singer who faked her Death along with other Djinns/ Demons chose to manipulate Jesus Christ a.s. they asked for 10yrs. to kill him and when 10yrs. was up his daughter May took it upon herself to do him wrong after she was taken out of the HellFire in 1993 she promised not to do it and broke her agreement and now this is where the Demons/Djinns get Destroyed and the Creator is going to do something with Time again. People forgot about what happened in Nazi Germany 🇩🇪 so they get the Fuhrer again only this Time he has all the Power.

    This song tells us to be prepared for a spiritual combat. The boy represents one of us who lost father in a physical war who is now in heaven worrying about his son standing alone in this hostile world so he asked an angel (comrade) to help his helpless son, there the angel appears to the boy to give a power to stand for the future war whether it will be a physical or or a spiritual one. I was moved by the love of his father and the angel. Be strong boy, you're not alone.

The 80's was a time when I had a REASON to get up early on Saturday mornings, that's for sure! The 1980's also had some of the best movies like:
      Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark
      Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom
      Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
      Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Living years touched my heart too. Since then i found many artists pouring out the truth like the american group Sly fox lets go all the way, powerful anthems that today are much needed. Notice now how many groups had videos depicting the elites and their costume parties like KC sunshine band give it up, laura branigan self control many many people knew.
