We Run

I don’t know where I’m going I only know where I’ve been I know what I was taught I know that we have sinned Don’t get caught up in this masquerade They will take ‘til you can’t give They will look you straight in the eye And tell you how to live This place that we call honest Is the place we can’t forget They teach to live forgiveness Yet they persecute to the end We look down on others For their restrictive ways What good is that developing land Yet we sell our soul to get paid We look down on others Can’t they figure it out But we sit here under dictator Only we can’t throw him out We should all run We should all hide We can save ourselves from this time Why can’t we all run A place that they can’t find So our dreams are truly ours tonight
