Run
Josh Groban [feat. Sarah McLachlan] Lyrics

As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

My daughter, Jamie, and I have seen Josh sing in Raleigh twice... his voice is always a healing presence... a gifted talent and a blessing to the world... God bless Josh... beautiful..."light up, light up" I posted this song this morning as she lives in Israel and I here in Emerald Isle, NC... "louder, louder and we'll run for our lives..." "I'll be right beside you dear..." this song is perfect to me... Sarah is the perfect partner for this song... love her also

It is so delightful to hear Josh sing in his lower register -- the male voice that makes any red-blooded woman melt. Great duets on this album. Would still love a repeat of a duet on In The Arms of the Angels.

Josh Groban, great music, that song " so she dances", was written for me and my mom, my mom was a Ballerina and you sense the touch of the world and make it better! "Run" will be extremely successful! Thanks Sarah McLachlan and Josh.

This song makes me think of all the mom and dads I know who've had to walk away from their child -- on the street, in a jail cell, in a psychiatric facility. The words fit those scenarios.. Not sure what the original intent was. "Light up, light up, as if you have a choice." Gives me strength to reach beyond myself. Thank you from Pat and me and all the families like us.

This one of the best albums he has, which are all wonderful and powerful too. I always love to hear and sing with him when I really need GOD the most, because, it gets me through some of the toughest times of my life, like Bi-Polar Depression and Suicidal thoughts. It always reminds me, life is wonderful and GOD is here with me. Thank you so much for that. God Bless You.

Each time a listen I cry harder (and I am so NOT a crier). The lyrics bring back the memory of the morning in August 2016 when I held my precious Mom as she passed following a long valiant battle with Alzheimer's. I haven't cried like this since that day, I miss her so much, even though I know she has been my guardian angel since then. Josh has a voice that impacts me like very few can. One night several years ago, I saw him perform Bridge Over Troubled Water live, at a time when that song was exactly what my soul needed, and I cried that night too.

My husband is fiercely battling ALS in its final stage. This cover of Run summed up so much of what I am feeling. The chorus touched my heart in such a personal way. Light up, light up, as if you have a choice. This simple line from the song reminds me that I have the power to choose life beyond my sadness, beyond my grief even in the face of this debilitating disease. Groban's and McLachlan's beautiful voices are a gift.
