Running Lyrics - This Storm - Sonya Kitchell

I'm not ready to paint my face 

And cover all that lies beneathe 

If that disappoints you I'm sorry to say 

I will be no accomplice to a theif. 

Just like this river that flows in between 

Or the wrecks and the brambles in the waves 

You can build a dam, you can force it upstream 

But the water, always gets away. 

(Chorus) 

I been runnin' from, I'm runnin' from 

The fear I'll lose myself in what I've become 

And I don't wanna be under the gun 

Please give me the strength to find I don't have to run. 

My mama told me, child, she said 

You're beautiful you're beautiful to me 

I said mama, wish I was in your head 

Cuz despite your words I really do not see. 

(Chorus X 2) 

I been runnin' from, I'm runnin' from 

The fear I'll lose myself in what I've become 

And I don't wanna be under the gun 

Please give me the strength to find I don't have to run. 

I been runnin' from, I'm runnin' from 

The fear I'll lose myself in what I've become 

And I don't wanna be under the gun 

Please give me the strength to find I'm not the only one 

Please give me the strength to fine I don't have to run.
