Running Away

I have been looking for something to make my life whole

Something that I could feel deep down in my soul

I really only wanted to forget about my awful past

So I always tried to run away and run away fast


This only led me to places that I did not want to be

As I never really took the time to look inside of me

No matter where I went the demons seemed to follow

Always making sure my heart was nothing but hollow


But something changed inside of me not long ago

I found something that allowed my heart grow

For the first time in my life I knew that this was right

With this I soon saw life reach an amazing height



Then some how the demons caught back up with me

Letting me know that I still could not be free

I thought for a while about what I could possibly do

And someone that I love, told me "look inside of you"


I decided that it was time for me to stop and not to run

I went to see someone special and spent some time in the sun

Standing, I looked down on her laying there at my feet

She made me see that I needed help if they were going to be beat


Falling to my knees that very moment I began to pray to him

I need your guidance my Lord I can't keep fighting them

I no longer want to be that empty bottomless well

And as I spoke those words my heart began to swell


I know now that it was only my fault they were following me

For the first time in my life I can see what is meant for me

What I felt that day and the time before was really true

No longer will I run away so I am here, waiting for you
