Running
Newman John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To you I'd run through day and night
We've got to finish what we started
We've got a lot to rescue darling
My shirt is torn, the shoes are worn
My birth's been drawn but still I'm strong
I feel like I'm a force of nature
Trying stop a river when it wants to rise
Trying to stop a blaze off a burning fire
I'm a hurricane, it ain't stopping
No no no
[Chorus]
And I keep... keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming back for more, no no
Keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming back for more, no
I've got to tell you know I've crossed the time
I've crossed through time
And giving up never crossed my mind
I feel like I'm a force of nature
But guess who made you my creator
Trying stop a river when it wants to rise
Trying to stop a blaze off a burning fire
I'm a hurricane, it ain't stopping
No no no
And I keep... keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming back for more, no no
Keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming back for more, no
Yea I keep
Trying stop a river when it wants to rise
Trying to stop a blaze off a burning fire
I'm a hurricane, it ain't stopping
No no no
And I keep... keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming
Keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming
And I keep... keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming back for more, no no
Keep running
I keep keep running
I keep keep coming back for more, no
The lyrics of Newman John's "Running" speak of persistence and determination in the face of adversity. The singer in the song is willing to cross great distances and overcome physical and emotional obstacles to achieve a goal, which seems to include rescuing someone or something. The line "My birth's been drawn but still I'm strong" suggests that the singer has faced challenges before, but has become stronger because of them. The repeated refrain of "Keep running" reinforces the idea that continuing to push forward is the key to success.
The imagery in the song is powerful and vivid. The singer compares themselves to natural forces like a river, a blaze, and a hurricane, emphasizing their strength and determination. The line "guess who made you my creator" is intriguing, as it suggests that whoever or whatever the singer is trying to rescue may have had a hand in their own creation. It also suggests a complex relationship between the two, one that is not fully explained in the song.
Overall, "Running" is a song about perseverance and the strength of the human spirit. It encourages the listener to keep going, no matter what obstacles they may face. The powerful imagery and repetition of the chorus make it a memorable and inspirational song.
