09. Run

The Greater Cause
by John Schlitt



 

No use crying, leave your tears at the door
You keep buying what they sold you before
You won't change it
But you can't take it no more… no more

Look out – maybe you're beginning to see
Deep down you know ‘bout the way it should be
I don't need to tell ya
Fear can be so captivating

You are fine
Just let go
By this time
You should know

(chorus)
Run, you can run
To the light at the end of the way
Run, will you run
Run from the things that remind you
Things that will bind you
You’ve got to leave it behind

No use dying – you've got living to do
You keep trying but it’s not up to you
A voice is calling
A hand to pull you through… a hand to pull you through

All the pain
That you've known
No more shame
Let it go

(repeat chorus)

Life – is the choices we make
And God knows where they'll take us to
So right now I will follow the light
And I trust it will lead me on… lead me on

All the pain
That you've known
No more shame
Let it go

(chorus 2)
Run, you can run
To the light at the end of the way
Run, when you run
Run from the things that remind you again

(repeat chorus 1)
