Doneta Dawson - Running Away Lyrics

Running away
Written by Doneta Dawson

Intro
Can't keep running away

Chorus
Run Running Run Run Run Running away
Why are you running away
God wants to meet you today
Cause tomorrow's not promised
Repeat

Verse 1
When I wake up, before I put on my makeup
I set aside a time to take up, a moment with the Lord to pray
When I stepped out, I see a sister that looks stressed out
Running from something so I reach out
But she don't have nothing nice to say
She says "You don't know me, don't the situation I be,
And unless you gon pay me, you can be gon with that."
See I got a baby, a relationship that's driving me crazy
Bills piling up so don't play me, now what can God do with that"

Chorus
Run Running Run Run Run Running away
Why are you running away
God wants
To meet you today
Cause tomorrow's not promise
Repeat

Verse 2
As I'm walking, I see a young brother who's talking
Holy Spirit pulled on my heart and,
I ask him I can just talk and pray
Said that he started slanging, turned around and he started banging
Just to keep it family maintaining, but he just wants another way
He says that he wants out. Not to many options or good routes
And he's so glad I took time to reach out,
Cause he's tired of running away
Said he ain't no preaching,
But he might be open to teaching
That's the only way we gon reach him
Don't let your witness run away

Chorus
Run Running Run Run Run Running away
Why are you running away
God wants to meet you today
Cause tomorrow's not promised
Repeat

Chorus
Run Running Run Run Run Running away
Why are you running away
God wants to meet you today
Cause tomorrow's not promised
Repeat

Outro
Can't keep runnin
