Runaway Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

Strolling past Temptation Avenue
You hear so many voices calling you, calling you
Maybe you′ll step in and take a quick look around
But try to walk through it and you're gonna fall down

You′ve gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain

You've gotta run away
It′s a prison that is calling your name
And you just can′t win if you play
So run away

There comes a time when you must stand and fight
You gotta fight
When the darkness tries to overcome the light
Overcome the light


But sin that is dressed up
In the color of gray
Is only defeated
When we run away

We gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain

You′ve gotta run away
It's a prison that is calling your name
And you just can′t win if you play
So run away

Don't put yourself in that position
Where sin can make it′s proposition
And if you find that you have fallen
You gotta get up, get ready to run
Next time sin comes calling, calling

You've gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain


You′ve gotta run away
It′s a prison that is calling your name
And you just can't win if you play
So run away

You′ve gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain

You′ve gotta run away
It's a prison that is calling your name
And you just can′t win if you play
You've gotta run away, run away
