Gonna run, gonna run
Father, spirit hear me son
I'm coming home singing
Got a ghost on my trail
Bless me oh preacher, I need a divine teacher
Show me how to live with a past I can't kill
It's been some time since I looked up in the sky
Since I laid out my woes and begged forgiveness for my sins
Can't break the chains of regret oh dear lord
I'm haunted by the pain I caused and I can't run no more
Help me face myself again and bear this remorse
Gonna run, gonna run
Father, spirit hear me son
I'm coming home singing
Got a ghost on my trail
Bless me oh preacher, I need a divine teacher
Show me how to live with a past I can't kill
It's been a while since I cried myself to sleep
I lay my head down and pray the lord my soul to keep
I know someones watching, up above
But I'm in desperate need of guidance, in dire need of love
I can't escape the ghost of what I have done
Gonna run, gonna run
Father, spirit hear me son
I'm coming home singing
Got a ghost on my trail
Bless me oh preacher, I need a divine teacher
Show me how to live with a past I can't kill
Show me how to live with a past I can't kill
Show me how to live with a past I can't kill
