Still Running Lyrics

And so she said wake up, won’t you wake up, it’s time to go

Wake up, please wake up, we’re standing alone

I was woken up in New York City, the lights are so bright, the girls are so pretty

But I woke, as she spoke, I was never going home

Cold November, my heart just sinks like a stone

We’re out of time, I’m out of my mind, I’m out of control

I can’t get behind your stated ambition, I cannot describe this world where I’m living

Where people don’t give a damn if you ain’t their own

It seemed like someday we’d know how many more miles we had to go

And now it’s like there ain’t an end in sight

Easy for me to say, the color of my skin, my face, my name

A little bit of money to sit and ask why

I’m still running

I’m still running

Come on down to my house, any color, man, any time

We got faith, grace and mercy for people that are falling behind

And I heard the less that you know, the worse you got’ get it

I didn’t understand what he meant when he said it

Now I feel like if I’m ready to live maybe I’m willing to die

And babe I know you’re tired, and I know it’s cold

And them bastards said they’re coming ‘bout an hour ago

But I’m in the streets, pleading won’t you come out and fight

And babe I’m reaching out to America man, I know you’re hurting, let me give you a hand

I’ll be waiting when you find out the magic man sold you lies (he sold you lies)

And I’m still running

I’m still running

It’s taking it’s toll, man it's stealing my soul

They still won’t look me in the eye

If you take it to the end, well I’ll see you there my friend

I’ll be standing where the sea meets the horizon line

‘Cause I heard the less that you know, the worse you gon’ get it

When we get done, they won’t know what hit ‘em

I can see the lights in the valley below

And I feel like I’m coming home

But I’m still

I’m still running

I’m still running
