Lyrics
Run
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.
Remember how we used to laugh away
those hours
We would spend.
We thought they'd last forever.
Oh,
Though I must go,
I know the pain I leave,
But oh,
These things will change,
'Cause nothing last forever.
For now at last,
I see all life as one,
All children are my own,
I'll never be alone.
Please don't cry,
For there's a brighter sun,
That allows us to be free,
Allows us to be bound
Chorus
Run,
Run,
Find a place of my own,
Yeah,
Somewhere where I can grow.
Got to run, run,
Find a place of my own,
Somewhere where I belong,
Yeah.
Somewhere where I can grow.
If there was a way to tell you,
Exactly how I feel,
All I can say,
That in my heart you'll always be.
Chorus
Yeah,
I've got to run,
Run,
Find a place of my own.
Yeah,
Somewhere where I can grow.
Run,
Run,
Run,
Run.
Find a place of my own.
Yeah,
Somewhere where I belong.
Yeah,
Somewhere I can grow.
