Sonya Kitchell - Running lyrics

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.
