Run the Races lyrics

Hello, what is going on, something strange?

Where do I go?

It's coming round to meet me

Gone around the world two times

To find something to save me here

But these days, it seems I'm of a different kind

It may not be safe but can't hide from what will come

And it may not be sane but I'm going out there

It may not be made for me

Lord knows what I will dare to find

But these days, you can't run from the races

I said, "Who told you could get a piece of my heart?

Cause you see, I'm no runaway

So go ahead, I'm gonna give you a head start."

I said, "Who told you could get a piece of my heart?

Cause you see, I'm no runaway

So go ahead, I'm gonna give you a head start."

Hello, I've come a long way to find this place

And what it's come to

Build it all on body, not faith

Say it'll be that tie you break

And a hallowed spark will find you

So if I wanna steep up the dream

Gotta take my place out on the line

It may not be safe but can't hide from what will come

And it may not be sane but I'm going out there

It may not be made for me

Lord knows what I will dare to find

But these days, you can't run from the races

I said, "Who told you could get a piece of my heart?

Cause you see, I'm no runaway

So go ahead, I'm gonna give you a head start."

I said, "Who told you could get a piece of my heart?

Cause you see, I'm no runaway

So go ahead, I'm gonna give you a head start."

Steady, don't ease up, get in my game

Can you see me now lookin' both ways?

All night dreaming I'd taken the race

Headin' out, do you not see in my face

I'm not playin' I'm 'a push it all day

Head down, feet forward edge of my faith
