Starting hard upon this road,
I think I’ve lost my way so far from home
I turn to face the longest day,
I’ll work my way through all of this, I can
Don’t know where the road goes to,
It goes so far I cannot see its end

And I’ll go onto, I’ll run unto a better day
And I’ll go onto, I’ll run unto a better way

I will return,
I’ll come back home some day, I know I will
Hold me in your arms
And let me know that all is well and good

I turn to face another day
I search for places I’ve been before and know
I feel the sun upon my head
I wipe my brow to see through eyes that cried
I take some comfort in the hope
The road will lead to highways heading home

Chorus

And I don’t know why I run
And I don’t know why I run, I run so far away
Don’t know why I ever run
Don’t know why I ever run

As I walk upon this road,
I leave behind the things that hold me back
The pain I feel I know is real
I give it all away to one who bears
I feel your hand upon my head
A peace that fills my heart and lifts my soul

And I see you from afar
And I see you from afar, you run to race to me
And I see you from afar

chorus

C – G (end in G)
