Run

Today was the day I ran On no request or no demand Put on my shoes one by one Said I should be back before the rising sun My feet they move like tender beats Swallowing the concrete feet I ran upon a thin red line With each step I changed my mind As I ran, I couldn't help but think Of all the bad things chasing me I begged myself, 'Please don't look back!' But my pace was slowed as I neared the track Spun around in one swift move Thrown to the ground as the cold wind blew There stood my fear like a wall Threatening upon me to fall Looked him in his big brown eye He said, 'My friend, let us compromise' Take my heart, but don't take my soul Give me a chance to grow old Pick myself up to my feet And dust the dirt off both my knees Spun around just one last time Making sure what's mine is mine My heart is filled with things to say As I ran to something, not away Things don't always go my way But I sure am glad I ran today Yeah, I sure am glad I ran today
