Run - Judy Collins, Ari Hest

In a country that pretends to learn

From tragedy and pain

Revolution is a never-ending game

The cards are dealt

The odds are known

The winners hide away

Till fortune brings them round again

It’s a wound that seems too large to mend

I want to run

Away from it

I want to run

Don’t wanna stay for it

I want to run

Far as I can go

But it’s not the answer

I want to run

Because I’ve seen enough

I want to run

But I can’t give up

I won’t run

There are those that I believe

Have courage fit to lead

But they say the damage has been done

And that all that’s left to do

Is hope and pray for miracles

They’ve decided that the darkness has won

As if blind to each morning’s sun

Makes me wanna run

Away from it

I want to run

Don’t wanna stay for it

I want to run

Far as I can go

But it’s not the answer

I want to run

But I’m never through

I want to run

There’s more that I can do

I won’t run

I won’t run

I wanna run

Away from it

I want to run

Don’t wanna stay for it

I want to run

Far as I can go

But it’s not the answer

I want to run

But I’m never through

I want to run

There’s more that I can do

I won’t run

I won’t run

I won’t run

I won’t run
