My mother, she taught me
She taught me how to pray (She taught me how to pray)
Ask Him to lift the pain inside
Don’t beg to undo fate
Don’t rebuke the weak and
The meanest of this world
Ask Him to make you ready
Mama’s big strong girl
He turned me to something new
That I don’t recognize
Here I am, go on and please
More conquerer than wild
All I do is run out
Of the manless machine
In my chest, a monster’s heart
Why God designed a beast
I’ve got to run now, but I am not afraid
I was born to do this, this is how I’m made
All the lights are bright now, but someday this all ends
I’ll keep on running, but I can’t go home again
And I run and I run and I run and I run
And I run and I run and I run and I run
And I run and I run and I run and I run
And I run and I run and I run and I run
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running (Oh, I’m running)
I gotta run (I gotta run)
Hey, ah
Running now, running now, running now
Running now, running now, running now
Keep on running
Keep on running, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running
Oh, I’m running (Oh, I’m running)
I gotta run
