Rescue me
Run Kid Run Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light surrounds me
To bring forth new reckoning
It was Your love that rescued me
You rescue

Light shines bright all around me
Love like rain washes over me
And it's fallen on the ones in need and I'm falling
Sure enough time, time, time lost its value
It might take a while to break through

I've got a failure condition
Motivation to speak slow
This is my new disposition
You discover me and I discover You

As I take the fall
I find You and discover
That I've lost it all
With no room to recover

Light shines bright all around me

In the making You see what I can be
A revelation, new creation carries me
Time, time, time gets the best of us
We never follow heart and we've had enough

I've got a failure condition
Motivation to speak slow
This is my new disposition
You discover me and I discover You

As I take the fall
I find You and discover
That I've lost it all
With no room to recover on my own, on my own

I find You and I know
On my own, on my own
I find You and I know
It was Your love that rescued me
You rescued me

As I take the fall, as I take the fall
Catch me, catch me, catch me
(As I take the fall I find You)
Catch me
(As I take the fall I find You out)

Light shines bright all around me




Light shines bright, You surround me
Light shines bright
