Sure Shot
Run Kid Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sing Your song aloud to those who just oppose the sound
We've got such a long way to go
Learning to trust while losing full control
Come fashion me for all to see, You and me
This is a sure shot, why can't we just stop?
And lose our gravity, rise up to reality
Echoing, echoing the world
I hear You sweet, so soft and subtle voice
Calling my name yet whispering Your words to me
A sure shot guarantee, so wake me up, I've had enough
I've shut You out, closed my mouth, too long to bleed sincerity
I'm not into deep, now I'm awake, in You I found escape
This is a sure shot, why can't we just stop?
And lose our gravity, rise up to reality
This is a sure shot, why can't we just stop?
Echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing
It?s time to face the world, face the world
Come together boys and girls, boys and girls
Voices lifted to the one rising up
We're going in with heads held high
Our eyes are lifted to the sky, to the sky
Singing praises to the one worthy of
We are the voices of today
A generation that seeks Your way
We are the voices of today
We seek Your face
Echoing Your name today
