Run

Lyrics and Music ©2003 by Bill Roper


Some problems can't be run away from, no matter how fast you are.

Em                   A7       A7/D   A7
Can you run a little faster?
Em                       A7      A7/D    A7
A little faster than the wind?
Em                    A7         A7/D    A7
Do you want to be the master?
Em                   A7      A7/D    A7
Do you know how to begin?
	Am7                           Em7
	What's the secret that you're chasing?
	Am7                               Em7
	What's this thing that you've got planned?
	Am7                        Em7
	What's the reason for your racing?
	Am7                      B7
	Are you afraid I'll understand?

Can you run a little faster?
A little faster than before?
Are you fleeing some disaster?
Are you searching for the door?

	Is there some uncharted portal
	That might lead you safe away?
	Do you hope to be immortal?
	Or do you plan to die today?

Can you run a little faster?
A little faster than the sound
Of the cries that follow after
From the men trapped on the ground?

	Do you fear they'll overtake you
	And make you do the things you must?
	Give you one chance to make or break you?
	Or leave you sprawling in the dust?

Can you run a little faster?
A little faster now than light?
Do you hope to reach to last year?
Or even back a single night?

	Would you bargain for an hour
	If you could uncommit your crime?
	Are you searching for the power
	To unravel threads of time?

Can you run a little faster?
Faster than the speed of life?
Can you cut away the cancer
When you're balanced on the knife?

Can you run a little faster?
Can you save those you betrayed?
Can you learn to be the master?
Can you learn to be the blade?

Em                      A7
Can you learn to be the blade?
