    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 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.

      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.

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! ❤

Lost my smile for life but managed to get things around somehow. My son was born 3 years ago and my world is now full of smiles. This song reminds me of how i fell hard after being thrown out. I will be a father that my son will always look up to. Thank you soul train.

    This song is so bittersweet for me. I first heard the song on the radio in the middle of a particularly rough night when I was 17 and being treated in hospital for depression. I got the CD as soon as I was able to find the name of the song and it was my stable comfort song for so many years while I was in treatment. I’m now 30 and loving life more than I thought was ever possible (though 2020 obviously sucks).

    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.

      @@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’m glad they used the video they used though, they actually found a lot of the kids from the video being played worldwide.

      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.

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

She got me addicted to crack and heroine (I understand I am an adult and should have left sooner), controlled me, told me when and what I was allowed (if I was allowed) to eat, constant mental bullying and torture, didn't let me have friends or go anywhere without her. And so much more. It got so bad with self harming and suicide attempts that some people who knew me actually got me help and got me away from that.
    It's been 6 months now and I have to struggle and battle day and night with the damage that 5 years of constant, daily abuse has done to my head. But I am slowly starting to feel like I may actually be worth something.

    Lyrics
    Call you up in the middle of the night
    Like a firefly without a light
    You were there like a slow torch burning
    I was a key that could use a little turning
    So tired that I couldn't even sleep
    So many secrets I couldn't keep
    Promised myself I wouldn't weep
    One more promise I couldn't keep
    It seems no one can help me now
    I'm in too deep
    There's no way out
    This time I have really led myself astray
    Runaway train never going back
    Wrong way on a one way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Can you help me remember how to smile?
    Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
    How on earth did I get so jaded?
    Life's mystery seems so faded
    I can go where no one else can go
    I know what no one else knows
    Here I am just drownin' in the rain
    With a ticket for a runaway train
    Everything seems cut and dry
    Day and night, earth and sky
    Somehow I just don't believe it
    Runaway train never going back
    Wrong way on a one way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Bought a ticket for a runaway train
    Like a madman laughin' at the rain
    A little out of touch, little insane
    It's just easier than dealing with the pain
    Runaway train never goin' back
    Wrong way on a one way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Runaway train never comin' back
    Runaway train tearin' up the track
    Runaway train burnin' in my veins
    Runaway but it always seems the same....

      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.

Every time she allowed me to meet my friends she made me feel like abandoning her and the worst person ever. It took me a long time to understand that this was not a normal relationship and that she made me feel horrible.

    People will say live aid actually did something. It did, it raised money for food. It was supposed to help a suppressed group of people to free them from their government. So what did we do? We gave the food to the government. To which they told the people, if you want food, you will submit to the government or be exiled or killed. Good job, doing.. the opposite of the thing you were supposed to do.

    After many years of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse from my step father, I had countless moments where I nearly ran away. Police officers had failed my brothers and I, school counselors did not take our pleas seriously...no one would help us. I had contemplated daily, about just getting up, walking away and leaving for good. Never looking back. Usually this overwhelming sense to flee came over me while I was on my 15 minute break, at my first job when I was 16. I would sit on the curb outside staring at the traffic going by, the open roads, and the sunny blue sky...and I would imagine being free, then I would feel compelled to just run. This song/video, however, was always in the back of my mind and I never followed through. Sometimes I wish I had, but at the same time, I’m glad I didn’t. He was eventually arrested for abuse when I was 19 and a mandatory restraining order was put into place. I still have moments where the urge to flee from stressful situations come over me...but I always choose fight over flight.

    This is awesome. I love this. I'm glad that this video helped locate and save 21 lost youth.

    This song always makes me cry it describes how I have felt since I was in my twenties and now I’m in my 40s I’ve always felt stuck in my life and years are passing by and I feel I’m still in the same place and when I think finally something different something takes me back again. No matter how much I try to change it.

My best friend passed away in 2020 and I always come back to this song and re visit all the memories we shared. I miss my best friend everyday!
