Run Away
Kim Salmon & Spencer P. Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day I'll find my way, not today, not today
One day I'll find my way, but it won't be today
One day I'll find my way, not today, not today
One day I'll find my way, but it won't be today
Ooh running through my life
Thinkin' it'll be alright
At least that is what I say
When I don't have strength to pray
Ooh running through my life
I hope it'll be alright
That's all I'm good for anyway
Run away
One day I'll find my way, not today, not today
One day I'll find my way, but it won't be today
One day I'll find my way, not today, not today
One day I'll find my way, but it won't be today
Ooh running through my life
Thinkin' it'll be alright
At least that is what I say
When I don't have strength to pray
Ooh running through my life
I hope it'll be alright
That's all I'm good for anyway
Run away
One day I'll find my way, not today, not today
One day I'll find my way, but it won't be today
One day I'll find my way, not today, not today




One day I'll find my way, but it won't be today
Run Away
