Sometimes you're Jonah On your way away from Nineveh Sometimes you end up In the belly of a whale Sometimes you're just a fool Who is afraid to fail Sometimes it's Nineveh Sometimes it's your own neighborhood Sometimes you're swallowed up In your best laid plans Sometimes you're just a mouse Afraid of being a man You could fly from the angels You could swim from the fishes in the sea You could flee to the mountains You can run from yourself But you can't run from God Think of Elijah As he ran away from Jezebel The wilderness hides you But it won't hide your fear In all of these run-ins There's one thing that's perfectly clear You could fly from the angels You could swim from the fishes in the sea You could flee to the mountains You can run from yourself But you can't run from God Yeah, yeah You could fly from the angels You could swim from the fishes in the sea You could flee to the mountains You can run from yourself But you can't run from God You can run from yourself But you can't run from God Mmm-mm-mmm... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... Yeah, yeah, yeah
