Runaway

Runaway, runaway
Yeah, see like back in 89 I was a runaway
And yeah I risked my life for some better days (better days)
Mom had visions, taught me how to pray
Taught me how to live for truth, never stray
Yeah, I was a runaway (runaway)
Leaving home for another place (another place)
Leaving the dark for brighter days
And I never stopped running just different pace and
Tryna be the change that I see (that I see)
But I'm always held back by the chains that bind me
Devil tryna keep me on my knees (on my knees)
Trying to escape all this noise that surrounds me
Ugly scars that won't fade away (fade away)
Old sins that try to stay (try to stay)
Angry thoughts that I wanna say and
I'm tired of sitting in these empty graves and
I'm a runaway, now I'm chasing after brighter days
While they're caught up in those yesterday's
I know there's gotta be a better way
Even the prodigal son, he was a runaway
So I gotta leave home, find God and pray
Conflicted by society, addicted to anxiety, fighting with sobriety
I'm drowning everyday (everyday)
Saw my cousin and best man in the grave
So many questions that came
And I read that a stone can be rolled away
It said that a man came to earth to save (save)
Why did you abandon me? Hung in shame like a tapestry
All this pain it devoured me so I went insane over this tragedy
Oh God should I even plead?
If I leave this place would you walk with me?
Oh God (oh God), what do you want with me?
Yeah, will you talk to me?
I'm a runaway (runaway)
Now I'm chasing after brighter days
While they're caught up in those yesterdays
I know there's gotta be a better way
I'll start again (again)
I'm moving on cause I can't hold it in
Same old faces keep me struggling
Can't hold me back cause I was born to win (born to win)
I'm a runaway, runaway
I'm a runaway
Now I'm chasing after brighter days (brighter days)
No more caught up in those yesterday's
Yeah I promise there's a better way (better way, better way)
I'm a runaway (runaway). Living in brighter days
Tomorrow's gone living for today
So now I'm here to stay
Runaway
