The Natural – Runnin' Away lyrics
[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
