Running |
Because I always feel like running |
Not away, because there is no such place |
Because, if there was I would have found it by now |
Because it’s easier to run, |
Easier than staying and finding out you’re the only one… who didn’t run |
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described |
As in «the long run» |
Or as in having given someone a «run for his money» |
Or as in «running out of time» |
Because running makes me look like everyone else, |
Though I hope there will ever be cause for that |
Because I will be running in the other direction, |
Not running for cover |
Because if I knew where cover was, |
I would stay there and never have to run for it Not running for my life, |
Because I have to be running for something of more value |
To be running and not in fear |
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, |
Hidden from, protected from, gotten away from, |
Not without showing the fear as I see it now |
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer |
Because of you and because of that nice |
That you quietly, quickly be causing |
And because you’re going to see me run soon |
And because you’re going to know why I’m running then |
You’ll know then |
Because I’m not going to tell you now |
