run

As soon as you see the sun 

you catch your breath. 

Don’t gather your things 

or wait for your head 

just look for the line of light 

feel for the warmth 

and run for your freedom, girl 

pick up and run. 

Watch for the clouds to break 

look for the dawn 

stop letting this storm inside 

drown out your song. 

Run for who you used to be

so far from where you’ve come 

Fight to get out this time, 

pick up and run. 

As soon as you feel the breeze kissing your cheeks 

suck up your courage 

get up on your feet. 

Get up and run from the heat at your back 

you’ve got so much to get to 

so much to get back. 

Run fast for the sunshine 

that’s waiting for you 

run from the dark 

that you’re holding onto. 

Get up and break free this time 

reach high for the sun 

fight to get out this time 

pick up and run.
