Running Songtext
von Sonya Kitchell

I′m not ready to paint my face
And cover all that lies beneath
If that disappoints you, I'm sorry to say
I will be no accomplice to a thief
Just like this river that flows in between
All the rocks and the brambles in the way
You can build a dam, you can force it upstream
But the water always gets away

I′ve been running from, I'm running from
The fear I lose myself in what I've become
And I don′t wanna be under the gun
Please give me the strength to find I don′t have to run


Mama told me, "Child," she said
"You're beautiful, you′re beautiful to me"
I said, "Mama, wish I was in your head
'Cause despite your words I really do not see"

I′ve been running from, I'm running from
The fear I lose myself in what I′ve become
And I don't wanna be under the gun
Please give me the strength to find I don't have to run

I′ve been running from, I′m running from
The fear I lose myself in what I've become
And I don′t wanna be under the gun
Please give me the strength to find I'm not the only one
Please give me the strength to find I don′t have to run
