Running In Place

My only form of escape Is to run away I have been running all of my life I run instead of standing up for my self I run from the truth That will set me free I run from whats holding me back And pulling me down I give up my rights to stand up And fight I run to keep out of mind and sight All that mess of long ago struggles I run to find in easy short cut to come A cross and finish And not run blind on a straight line I look for ways to run To drop the load thats slowing me down I run so that i dont have to explain Why the sun dont shine on my face Why the rain takes the place of my tears Why this frown takes the place of my smile I run to hide whats locked deep inside And someday die then i can say Aim done running
