You can run - but you can't hide

You can cry - but it will not slide

When the rain comes down

It's gonna wash away all your lies

And the sun's gonna shine at night

You'll be awakened by an angel of light

And the veil of sorrow will be lifted from your eyes

Turn around, tell me what do you see

Can that fool standing there be me

If you look real close

You can tell he's got his heart in his hand

I guess he tried to fly too high

Took off in a storm through an uncharted sky

Shot down by a paper plane

And had nowhere to land

Hey - where are you going now?

Your story's got no reason or rhyme

Tell me - who can you turn to now

That you're livin' on borrowed time

So - called friends think I've lost my mind

Can't believe what I've left behind

Now that I've changed my number

And I'm not runnin' scared

Looks like the ones who have lost it all

Are the ones who are standing tall

Me, I'm turning to the one who always cared
