Lyrics Run Away - Steven Curtis Chapman

Run Away

Strolling past temptation avenue
You hear so many voices calling you;
Maybe you’ll step in and take a quick look around
Try to walk through it
And you’re gonna fall down
You’ve gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way;
Don’t even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You’ve gotta run away
It’s a prison that is calling your name;
You just can’t win if you play
So run away
There comes a time when you must stand and fight
When the darkness tries to overcome the light;
But sin that is dressed up in the color of gray
Is only defeated
When we run away
You’ve gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way;
Don’t even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You’ve gotta run away
It’s a prison that is calling your name;
You just can’t win if you play
So run away
Don’t put yourself in that position
Where sin can make it’s proposition;
And if you find that you have fallen
You gotta get up, get ready to run
Next time sin comes calling, calling
You’ve gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way;
Don’t even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You’ve gotta run away
It’s a prison that is calling your name;
You just can’t win if you play
So run away
