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.

I was a Runaway as i was 16, back in the mid 90ths. I slept on Stairways,eating from Containers..it was rough and marked my Life. Now i am a Father of a 21 year old Girl and i kept her safe and she grew of as comfartable as she can,that she never become a Runaway like me. This Song is over all the Years my Hymn and i listen to everyday. God bless all unfound Children out there.

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.

This song was on repeat after my older brother died of brain cancer at the age of 17yrs old. It destroyed me, it took me years to recover my downward spiral of drugs on my runaway train. It’s been over 31 years and that void is still there but learned to cope by finding purpose in the pain instead of getting on the train. We will be reunited in with our Father in heaven. That will be a glorious day indeed. God bless everyone who reads this message and seek the Father and he will give you peace and comfort.

[@darrylkupsch7219]

Its always been going on. There have always been the poor and desperate with no way out. The only difference is as the years have gone by, the plate keeps tilting more and more in favor of the wealthy so more and more people are falling into the desperation zone. Our awareness has changed because of the way the internet, social media and the media in general have grown and spread the news of what is going on.

[@pandorasbox4238]

We were still pretty ignorant of things like that then. Unless you'd lost a kid, or know one that vanished, you just weren't exposed to it. It's happened for thousands of years, but it's always been kept very quiet. Nowadays, with social media and phones with cameras, people have grown more aware than we've ever been. It's the same thing with sex crimes. It's always existed, but no one talked about it. A lot of people just didn't talk about this kind of thing.

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.

Putera Usman For sure. I was lucky and though we didn't have much money, my parents chose a great town to live in in Dana Point, CA and my parents have my brothers and myself everything they could and I would do anything to go back to those days of innocence and hope where anything is possible. Getting older brings reality and responsibilities that cause stress not to mention all the other things that naturally happen to us and around us. So please let your kids have that childhood of happiness because once it's gone it's gone for good. Things like this and to help others, don't cause pain to others or animals, don't destroy the things that make this planet special, but unfortunately some people do need to be told.

@@Grayback1973 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.

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.

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.

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.
