THE NATURAL

THE NATURAL - Runnin Away lyrics

rate me

[Talking:]

This goes out to everybody

Feeling like they ain't gon' make it.

I got one thing to tell y'all.

Here we go.

[Verse 1:]

Now she don't wanna wake up for the day

So much on her mind but she ain't got nothin' to say

And she feelin' like the whole world is comin' of age

But she just sit back feelin' like she rustin' away

But I, I, I, I wanna get that feeling of flying

And I know each and every morning I rise

I gotta put that hurt to the side

When I look in ya eyes

[Chorus:]

Now I don't know what the world is comin' to

But I'm damn sure that we gon' make it, we gon' make it

And I don't know why you look to the ground

Look to that mirror, shawty you so sacred

Just reach high, put your hands in the sky

Gotta burst thru that ceiling, cause you know we gon' fly

And stop runnin' away, stop runnin' away, stop runnin away

[Verse 2:]

Cold heart, cold shoulder, live in a cold world

Can't even feel the warmth in a hug from her lil' girl

Family is trippin', don't nobody listen

Said you'd be the same way if you was in my position

Done wishin', hope's just a fallacy

You say it could be, but it ain't gotta be

They say struggle's supposed to bring the best outta me

But I'm just wishin' that someone was proud of me

Wish I could fly away, where no one knows me

Cares just blow right along with the cold breeze

And all the stars in the sky is equal

To the dreams and the goals that I'm prone to reach to

No more evil, oh so peaceful

But baby that's a fantasy, that can't be true

I said I know you used to runnin' away

But the time to stop running's today

Stop runnin' away

[Chorus:]

Now I don't know what the world is comin' to

But I'm damn sure that we gon' make it, we gon' make it

And I don't know why you look to the ground

Look to that mirror, shawty you so sacred

Just reach high, put your hands in the sky

Gotta burst thru that ceiling, cause you know we gon' fly

And stop runnin' away, stop runnin' away, stop runnin away

[Bridge:]

Yeah and though times is hard

They can't hold me now

Yeah and though mind is scarred

They can't slow me down

[Verse 3:]

Yea-yeah, now baby drop that bravado

And learn to live life, like there is no tomorrow

There is no gain when you wallow, so that pain and that sorrow's

Gotta be something you tame, that's the motto

We all victims of circumstance

So know you ain't the first, and damn sure ain't the last

So while you walk that road, know you a verse in a chapter

Of a book written long ago

Every once upon a time has a happily ever after

It just makes a better read when the path was a disaster

They say it ain't your turn, another day another dollar

I just say another page to turn

[Chorus:]

Now I don't know what the world is comin' to

But I'm damn sure that we gon' make it, we gon' make it

And I don't know why you look to the ground

Look to that mirror, shawty you so sacred

Just reach high, put your hands in the sky

Gotta burst thru that ceiling, cause you know we gon' fly

And stop runnin' away, stop runnin' away, stop runnin away

[Talking:]

See no matter where you go,

Your problems always waiting for you back at home.

You know? So you might as well come back and face them.

That's the only way to deal with it.

I promise you one thing. We all gon' make it, yeah
