Not Like Running

Run. Run away.
Far, far away
Beyond the valleys of pain
The mountains of anguish,
Ignore the brewing storm
The heavy raindrop tears
The pelting hailstorm of reality
Run. Run away.

It's not like running
Don't run, not far away
You've raced so far
and hid so long
It's time to face it all
Time to be strong

Run through the storm
feel the pain on your face
Climb the highest mountains
So you can reach the top
and know you have conquered
with no more need to hide
Run through the valleys
let your feet feel the memories
Run, darling, Run
but don't run away

Run through it all
It's not like running away
Don't run away
but conquer it all
Conquer your fears,
hurt, and worst pitfalls
and when you've run
through it all
Run! Run!
back into my arms...!
