Lyrics
Don't Run For Cover
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You hide, won't fight
Avoid the daylight
Give in, won't win
No try to make it right
Why don't you stop crying?
Stop your painful dying
Why don't you give your life a sense?
One game, one aim
But you're always sleeping
One light so bright
In darkness you're creeping
Why don't you use your head?
Step out of your warm bed
And stop being on anxious rat
Run - for your destination
Fly - to the sun
Don't give a damn what the people may say
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay
Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
No pride, no right?
In your heart is more strength
You know, I know
Your destiny's in your hand
Now you have this time
To survive don't be blind
In this world where so many can't see
Try - to catch the key
Make - that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
So many hearts in these times
Are so cold, they can't find
Their own power to win, they don't know
Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
Run - for your destination
Fly - to the sun
Don't give a damn what the people may say
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay
Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
