Run My Own Race Lyrics

I used to hide behind a borrowed face

Tried to win in a stranger's embrace

But now I see the light so clear

It's time to banish doubt and fear

I've chased shadows down a winding lane

Tripped on mistakes and called it pain

But the rearview's not where I belong

I've found my rhythm in my own song

Gonna run my own race keep my focus ahead

Not looking back at who's chasing instead

The past is a ghost I no longer see

Looking behind just brings regret to me

I wore disguises tried to fit a lie

Lost myself under someone else's sky

Now I'm breathing breath that's truly mine

Breaking chains leaving the past behind

Oh the road is open wide and clear

Every mile takes me closer to here

No more shadows in the rearview glass

I'm living now not tied to the past

Gonna run my own race keep my focus ahead

Not looking back at who's chasing instead

The past is a ghost I no longer see

Looking behind just brings regret to me

Gonna run my own race keep my focus ahead

Not looking back at who's chasing instead

The past is a ghost I no longer see

Looking behind just brings regret to me

I wore disguises tried to fit a lie

Lost myself under someone else's sky

Now I'm breathing breath that's truly mine

Breaking chains leaving the past behind

Oh the road is open wide and clear

Every mile takes me closer to here

No more shadows in the rearview glass

I'm living now not tied to the past

So take your mask and lay it down

Find the truth that you can call your own

We're all running in our own time and space

Chasing dreams finding our own place

Oh the road is open wide and clear

Every mile takes me closer to here

No more shadows in the rearview glass

I'm living now not tied to the past
