Now the moon fights the daylight
As the birds greet the morning
With a song I have tried my whole life to learn.
My thoughts start to drift
Like the mist that is fading
And I’m humbly standing for the rising of the sun.
But this time I can not run
This time I can not run
No this time I can not run
Away from myself again
Away from myself again
There are nights that I feel
The weight on my shoulders.
And I can not find the healing in the words of my own songs.
I try to find the faith
In a power that is greater.
To give me the strength to fight the coming storm.
Cause this time I can not run
No this time there’s no place to run
No this time I can not run
Away from myself again
I can not run away from myself again
My mind is a jungle and it’s filled with hidden dangers,
I got demons riding nightmare’s with the ghosts of my past.
And as I turn to look
At that face in the mirror,
The eyes that are looking back they scare me to death.
But this time I will not run
No this time I will not run
This time I will stand my ground
I will not run away again
Away from myself again
Now in the name of the Father and of His son
I beg for peace of mind but it don’t never come.
And to you Holy Mary
I have scarred my knees.
With a thousand prayers but You ain’t answered none.
And this time I can not run
Oh don’t you know that this time there is no place to run
This time I can not run
When the judgment of the Lord it come down
When the hand of the Lord it come down…
There’s no place left to run.
