lyrics

I am just a little runaway
47 years and still I'm on the run
Afraid of love I'm keeping God at bay
Spending days in a nightmare ain't much fun
I am just a little runaway
For my misery always blaming someone else
I'm really into judgement and delay
But only hurting me and I and myself

I am just a little runaway
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
I'm bored and angry almost every day
And mostly I'm feeling so uninspired
I know what to do but run away
From many lessons that God would have me learn
And depression is the price I pay
But I hang in there knowing I will return

God is waiting
I'm hesitating
Afraid of what I will find
I'm down on my knees
Dear God help me please
Your will, not mine

God is waiting
I'm hesitating
Afraid of what I will find
I'm down on my knees
Dear God help me please
Thy way, not mine

It was just a tiny mad idea
At which the Son of God remembered not to laugh
We built an altar made of hate and fear
We let the ego live on our behalf
