Run On
Moby愀 Lyrics

Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
I have something important to share with you all.

My head got wet in midnight dew
I felt overwhelmed with emotions and maybe even cried.

Great God I been down on my bended knees
I've been praying and pleading to God.

Talking to a man from Galilee
I've been conversing with Jesus Christ.

Michael spoke and he sound so sweet
I received a comforting message from an angel.

I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
I felt the presence of celestial beings.

He put one hand upon my head
I felt a divine touch.

Great God Almighty let me tell you what He said
I'm about to share the message I received from God with you all.

Go tell that lonesome liar
Spread the word to those who are deceitful and lonely.

Go tell that midnight rider
Warn those who are up to no good in the darkness of night.

Tell the gamblin' ramblin' backslider
Advise those who are addicted to gambling and wandering away from their beliefs.

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
Inform them that God will punish them for their actions.

You might run on for a long time
You can continue to evade and escape responsibility for a long time.

Run on, ducking and dodging
Keep on avoiding the consequences of your actions.

Run on, children, for a long time
The younger generation will continue to make mistakes and run away from their problems.

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
God will bring judgment and punishment for your wrongdoings.

You might throw your rock, hide your head
You can try to hide your actions and mistakes from others.

Work in the dark with your fellow men
You may conspire with others in secret.

Sure as God made you rich and poor
Regardless of your wealth and status, you will face the consequences of your actions.

You're gonna reap just what you sow
You will experience the results of your actions.

Some people go to church just to signify
Some people attend religious services for show or status.

Trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife
They may use their religious attendance as an excuse to pursue adulterous behavior.

Brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
Listen to me, this is an important message.

You better leave that woman alone
Stop pursuing someone else's spouse.

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down
God will judge and punish you for your adultery.
