You Can'T Run Away From Yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You fear the unknown
As you see a truth hidden
From the view
Like a rebel against evil
You act as a brave lion
To a point
the struggles for truth
Hurts you like you
Keep running away
From reality
As you fear yourself
Oh man you keep
Running to nowhere
For you can't run away
From your soul
You can't run away from yourself
He that hide a truth
Is not a part to solution
For you keep calm as
Souls pass away with a pain
While the innocent grief
As justice and truth is far
From the face of your community
Still you keep running for you
Prefer to die with a fear to no
Sense of life
Oh Weak up for you can't
Run away from your self
Oh man you keep
Running to nowhere
But you can't run away
From your soul
You cant run away from yourself
I could not stand and just watch
Life's pass away with a brutality
That is seen all over places
Just to be a zombie and follow
The crowed to an unknown destination is never me
Like I got no guns
Either do I have a bullet
But my blue pen and poems
I show the path I play
As I communicate
with any one that cares
For I just can't run away from
My soul either can
You run away from yourself
Oh man you keep
Running to nowhere
but you can't run away
from your soul
You can't run away from yourself
Oh rise up where ever you are
Get up and stand strong
As the lion you are
Don't run no more
For you will only faint
To illusion
Let the light in you shine
Oh the world needs more
Truth than money
Break those chains
Of fear
Carry you cross
For you can't run so far
As you fear
Oh man you keep
Running to nowhere
but you can't run away
From your soul
