Run the Races

Hello
What is going on, something strange
Where do I go, it’s coming round to meet me
I’ve gone around the world two times
To find something to save me here
But these days, it seems I’m of a different kind
It may not be safe
But can’t hide from what will come
And it may not be sane
But I’m going out there
It may not be made for me
Lord knows what I will dare to find
But these days
You can’t run from the races
I said who
Told you you could get a piece of my heart
Cuz you see I’m no runaway
So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start
I said who
Told you you could get a piece of my heart
Cuz you see I’m no runaway
So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start
Hello
I’ve come a long way to find this place
And what it’s come to, build it all on body not faith
Say it’ll be that tie you break
When the hallowed spark will find you
So if I wanna steep up the dream
Gotta take my place out on the line
It may not be safe
But can’t hide from what will come
And it may not be sane
But I’m going out there
It may not be made for me
Lord knows what I will dare to find
But these days
You can’t run from the races
I said who
Told you you could get a piece of my heart
Cuz you see I’m no runaway
So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start
I said who
Told you you could get a piece of my heart
Cuz you see I’m no runaway
So go ahead, I’m gonna give you a head start
Steady, don’t ease up
Get in my game
Can you see me now
Lookin both ways
All night, dreamin I’d
Taken the race
Headin' out, do you not see in my face
I’m not playin'
I’m ‘a push it all day
Head down, feet forward
Edge of my faith
