Run away

There is only so much we can take
Like the flames that turn into dust when it rains
The answers that you seek are never easy to find
Like the water falling down the drain from the darkness into the light

You can close the door but it won’t be closed forever
And you can run away but you are running towards something
And you can speak about forever but it’ll turn into never
And you can be afraid of losing but only when you win

When you close you’re eyes you can still see
Like the starlight that died a long time ago only to be free
You hear the beating of your heart even though you are afraid
But you will find your way

You can build a wall but it won’t be up forever
And you can run away but you are running towards something
You can feel like you don’t know but you are really clever
And this gift is the gift I bring
