[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I've been searchin', nothin's workin'
I've been trippin', no one's perfect
Chasin' vision, just the surface
Shirt's on backwards, not on purpose
I've been learnin', something bigger
In expectation, feet were failing
But I found blessings flowing from
This side of Heaven
[Pre-Chorus]
Staring into my reflection
Redirecting my perfection somewhere else
When there isn't any progress
Lean on truth inside the promise, it is well
[Chorus]
I hold my life out in front of me
Dreams of who I wanna be
And seeing every empty page
But I find that everything I am is
Everything I should be
I don't need to run away
Oh, I don't need to run away
Oh, I don't need to run away
[Verse 2]
Something's working, heart is turnin'
Vision's clearing, still I'm learnin'
That what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
Is something more than I can plan
Go tell me now
I don't need to run away
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been standing on a stage
With just a mirror
Forced to face who I've become
Searching for a new escape
I scan the exits that embrace
An easy out
[Chorus]
I hold my life out in front of me
Dreams of who I wanna be
And seeing every empty page
But I find that everything I am
Is everything I should be
I don't need to run away
Oh, I don't need to run away
Oh, I don't need to run away
[Outro]
Hey, yeah, oh ooh
(I don't need to run away)
I don't need to run away
(Oh, oh, I don't need to run away)
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run
