A song about the struggle to accept the light within and the challenges one and each of us go through reaching for our dreams
lyrics
To run is not to let go of yourself, running in circles, around myself
looking for freedom, outside this mess, where can I find him, god himself
Tried to become someone not needing help,
where needs of others, is to be helped,
breathing thin above the surface, what keeps me from drowning
Running for life, running from signs, running, running,
running to find, running to hide, running, running,
running for life, running from signs, running,
Down in the deep, I found a friend, a voice telling me not to be scared. She told me death is the only way, to find the bridge to the holy grail
Running for life, running from signs, running, running, running to hide, running to find, running, running, running for life, running from signs, running
This is not the way it supposed to be,
always running, never free,
oh survivor, inside of me, let me go, let it be, let me be
Running for life, running from signs, running, running, running to hide, running to find, running, running, running for life, running from signs, running
To run is not to let go of yourself, closing the circle, inside myself,
finding freedom, outside this mess, I think I have found him, god himself.
