Ever since I was a little kid
I have always thought
I could run faster than the wind
Stare up to the sky
With open spaces
I could live and die
Well, man you can't
Find that in no book
Never find that in no book
Log on to hide ad.
Someone will drag you down
And try to knock you under
Hey, mama said
With her words of wonder
Don't matter 'cause
'Cause it's in your soul
I have always felt
That I had to prove it to myself
No salvation from the firing line
A million dreams
Won't set you free
God, I know there's
Something trapped in me
There's no refuge from the ride
No shelter ever saved
A man his pride
Give you pain
And never feed your hunger
I won't close my eyes
When it rain and thunders
Don't matter 'cause
'Cause it's in your soul
And when the night is overcome
And I've been racing down a road
That's got no trace, no face
If I could live by the words I've sung
And carry all the choices I made
I swear, I swear I'll be there
Hey, mister, don't shadow box with me
'Cause I don't wanna someday be
An old man cursing
What I might have been
Now I realize what I see
That the wind was never chasing me
And I don't feel so alone
I can close my eyes
I'm going home
Behind the clouds
The sun is shining
Some rain will fall
No use crying
Oh, no, oh, no, not me
Got a picture in my head
That won't let go
Of a young man running
In search of
Count your blessings
Cause it's in your soul
Oh, it's in your soul
In your soul, oh, no
Ever since I was a little kid
I have always thought
Young man running
Keep on running....
