RUNAWAY

Out in the shadows – Out in the night -- Out in the darkness – Out of the light
Lookin’ over my shoulder – At what I left behind
I’ve been running - for so long now –And I know it isn’t  right 
I once had a future – I once had a place -- But I  started running – Threw it all away
Now I’ve wasted all I had – And I’m lost and alone
I’d give anything to take it back –and find my way back home
 
(But) I’m just a runaway – Running away from - Everything good for me
I’m just a runaway – Running away from - Everything that I need 
And I need You - - Lord I need You
 
What if I turned around – Swallowed my pride
Started running Your way – turned away from mine
What would You say to me – After all that I’ve done to You
Thought I’d show You how strong I am - But I showed You I’m a fool.
 
Why do I run from the One who loves me? 
Why do I run from Your outstretched hands?
Why do I run from the One who offers– A second chance – second chance?
