Run Like Andrew - Ryan Long

First there was john

Then there was me

My brother was tom, strong and lean

I loved to watch him play

He has always walked that way

His feet were faster than mine have ever been

Oh his feet were faster than mine have ever been

I move more like Maddie, our basset hound

Our hands are always close to the ground

Then there came Andrew

I was only three

And my brother turned out to move a lot like me

Oh my brother turned out to move a lot like me

Crawled across the kitchen at the speed of light

But not as fast as Maddie, one day we might

Just a year later Andrew began to talk

And I knew he was more like john as he began to walk

Oh I knew he was more like john as he began to walk

So I said mom when I die and I go up to heaven

Angels are singing and the babies are swingin

When I die and I go up to heaven

Will I run?

Will I run, run, run?

Will I run?

Run like Andrew

Through her tears she smiled and held me for a long, long while

She said with a sigh my child, my child

You will run much faster, and a lot more wild

Oh you will run much faster and a lot more wild

So when I die and I go up to heaven

Angels are singing and the babies are swingin

When I die and I go up to heaven

I will run

I will run, run, run

I will run

I will run, run, run

I will run, run, run, run, run, run

I will run

Like my brother Andrew
