Running

Running but you don't know why

Lost within your web of lies

All the anger obstructs the view

And you're seeing anything but truth

There's a man who has paid your bail

But you're still living in an open cell

A broken father comes unglued

And plants the seed of the rejection root

Desperate to be seen and heard

Manipulating every word

There's a man who has paid your bail

But you're still living in an open cell

What love and joy and peace await

The fallen captive who becomes awake

I wish I could set you free

I cannot force you to see

After you're done runnin'

Just turn around and face him

You're fighting demons that call you friend

They've got their orders and a life to end

Wielding weapons of whispered lies

To fan the flames of buried pride

Talk with the man who has paid your bail

And walk away from that prison cell

What love and joy and peace await

The fallen captive who becomes awake

I wish I could set you free

I cannot force you to see

After you're done runnin'

Let him cleanse all your sins
