She Ran to Me Lyrics

A well of sadness so deep and so wide

An empty space she would crawl inside

A universe of longing hurt that couldn't be denied

Bonds so strong there were scars where they were tied

She said hold on to me, hold on to me

Take this troubled soul and set it free

She was a restless spirit looking for some place to be

Out of the darkness she ran to me

What she couldn't have in childhood she looked for in every face

She looked in every place

Every church and every bar

When she couldn't fill that emptiness inside she ran away so far

We put ourselves on notice, don't let down our guards

But life just seems to happen we can't know what's in the cards

We struggle all our lives just to try to beat the odds

With odds so long, growing longer all the time
