Run Away - Steven Curtis Chapman

Strolling past temptation avenue

You hear so many voices calling you;

Maybe you’ll step in and take a quick look around

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;

You just can’t win if you play

So run away

There comes a time when you must stand and fight

When the darkness tries to overcome the light;

But sin that is dressed up in the color of gray

Is only defeated

When we 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;

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;

You just can’t win if you play

So run away
