Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love the run but not the race
All alone in a silent way
World drifts in and the world's a stranger
[Verse 2]
In a light
Eclipsed and alienated
In a time
Occupied and invaded
You can't tell what's right
Better hit the ground running
[Verse 3]
In the hills where the tall weed grows
Hands are tied and I won't let go
Can't escape this place without leaving the world behind
[Verse 4]
In a light
Ashamed and humiliated
In a time
Sacrificed for the sake of trade
The soul is bent
Feels the weight of truth falling through
Left behind
No choice but to run to the mountains
Where no poppies grow
You have to hit the ground running
[Verse 5]
In a light
Paralyzed and spirits fading
Out of time
Must decide to fall or run
Into the eye
Of the storm no sign or omen
Make it right
Or fall to the other side
Where fields are burning
You'll always hit the ground running
Running
Running
