This song was on repeat through my troubled youth. I’m now 44 and still listen to it every once in a while. Takes me far back but also reminds me how blessed my life has turned out to be. To all the missing, abused, exploited and lost kids out there, you are loved and your voices are heard and matter. May your train find its way to peace.

As a runaway at the age of 15, this song means so much to me even all these years later. I was unbelievably lucky and was able to build a life for myself and have a wonderful family and job. I know how horribly wrong it could have all gone so I am grateful every single day to be here now. Every time I hear this song, I cry for those who are still out there. You are loved and you are important.

This song is making a come back with the new movie out Sound of Freedom , glad you made it out safe .

[@SeanDuffy-h7d]

Fair play

[@Ep0nz]

He wrote this song about his severe depression, I also think the song is about addiction, but just didn’t come out and say that. Back in the 90’s talking about drug use/addiction was taboo, it’s just now becoming acceptable to society to openly talk about it. I’m glad they used the video they used though, they actually found a lot of the kids from the video being played worldwide.

My little brother just died 4 weeks ago at age 35. He always tried to run away from himself. In his last days, he was lost, stressed, depressed, suffering from anxiety, and without even being able to sleep more than 2 or 3 hours per night. Then he just colapsed and had a heart attack. Now you're free, hermanito. Go in peace. I will forever love you. You will always be my little brother! ❤

@@CORAMDEO-ot1nq there is absolutely a curse on this land and many others because of this. the trade is one of the biggest. and people are acting like they don't know or that it doesn't matter because these kids made a bad choice. they dont want to think about it happening to someone they care about it. imagine turning on your favorite "website" in the late evening and seeing someone you know in one of those videos... doing something unspeakable.

And what was the stories behind them going missing? We're they sex trafficked or they just ran away from home?

[@alibobali4032]

@@am4456~ Even if they start as a runaway, they can very quickly end up being trafficked. Minors leave home because they don't know what else to do with themselves -- undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, neglected, abused, misfits, seeking adventure or seeking escape, and thinking the way to get that is to go find it elsewhere. And then in any city in the world, or even in their own hometown, there are predators looking for them for their own purposes. And they're young and impressionable, needy or desparate, easily led, and all-around easy marks for predators.

I sometimes wonder what my life would've turned out like if I'd run away from home at 14. That's when family life was getting rough to say the least. I often had that urge not to go home after school, just keep walking, but I don't think it would have helped much. When the careers guidance teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said I wanted to be a tramp. I definitely didn't fit in with my school friends either which didn't help. In another sense I was already getting lost and it just got worse. But I survived and here I am 31 years later, still a bit rough around the edges and still a bit baffled by life but content enough.

[@Angela-v8f7x]

It's so awful that so many young people are out on the streets or have disappeared. I keep them and the families in my prayers. It could have been any of us is the way I look at things.

Well, a lot of those kids run away from home because they have parents who have failed them, abused them, and then some end up dead on the streets. The song speaks very poignantly to the anguish such kids feel. They are desperate and want to escape. The person escapes the home, but becomes aimless. The escape looked attractive, like a nice promise, but it didn't deliver. I guess that's what I took from the song. I am sure your parents are very lucky to have you.

It was 2 years after this song I went to CPS about the abuse my brothers and I were going through. No one believed me because the ones who knew covered it up and the others were too scared. So I was a 15 year old girl who stood alone in the truth. But was viewed as a liar by everyone. I went into rebellion and began to Surpress the trauma of it all within drugs. Or how the pedophiles love it when we became addicts cause they use it against us. Finally I took a chance and went 1200 miles away to be homeless. In Nature I began to learn. I wanted to live for the first time ever. So I did a lot of work getting off drugs off the street within myself removing self hatered. I found my spirit who has a name. We are spirit with a name and they keep us from knowing this cause this is our power. So much trauma because without it the Elite would have no control. Comedy brainwashes parents to sexually abuse children. While colors brainwash us to Surpress trauma decimate mind deny astrocities compartmentalize and destroy self core. Like I said I did a lot of work. Many are brainwashed to be addicts. Free the mind from that and it is freedom from addiction. I won they lost

Please get safe and loving support to help you-grief is so hard and changes lives, you can be you. Sending lots of love and hope you find the comfort you seek. Keep looking for support that is a little better than the best support you can find today.

F*ck me this is still a tear-jerker almost 30 years later. Those faces have been burned into my consciousness for almost 3 decades. These guys should get Nobel Peace Prizes for helping bring some of those kids back home. And it worked.

Im 51 and still tear up like it was the first time hearing it😔😭😭

Those who are lost, those who were abused, those who were ripped from a loving parent.... To my own family's private hell which made me listen to this endlessly... To whatever circumstances this song was born from... I pray for the end of the nightmares and for everyone to have a safe home, even if you have to create a new one on your own. Thank You.

I haven't heard this song in over 20 years and still brings tears to my eyes watching the video.

Makes you weep for the lost hope and lives of so many that have been let down by those that were supposed to love and care for them😪
