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
