Running,running
down the streets he goes,
no one knows this kid,
what he does or where he goes
Running, running.... stops occasionally,
reads afew books through and through
Once again he stops and finds a home,
the sweet home of a black family
Wait, but stop who is this kid who dares to cross the border between black and white?
All the same,all the same he knows they are good to him what's the difference
he thinks
Running, running once again
stops afew times to meet some friends whether black or white ,it does not matter
all the same to him in his heart
Now this kid, this kid who's now a legden, roams the streets as Maniac Magee
breaking the lines between east and west,
black and white, to him it does not matter
only the adress of where his heart belongs.
