Run Rap

©Lydia Lord

All:
Run (clap) run (clap) where will you go? (clap)
Run (clap) run (clap) how will you know? (clap)

Noah:
You can run away from the things you’ve done
Run from the problems, run to the fun
Run away to think, or to keep from thinking
Run to the smoking, using, drinking
Run away from home, from the law & the rules
Run from the teachers, run from the schools
Run till you drop, but when you do
You’ll find you can’t run away from you

All:
Run (clap) run (clap) where have you been? (clap)
Run (clap) run (clap) would you go again? (clap)

Felicia:
When I want to run, I find a crowd

Shasta:
And I do things that aren’t allowed

Shaun:
Turn from my friends & I shut right down
Get dressed up & paint the town

Sherry:
I write, I read, I watch TV
Escape to a world of fantasy

All:
But even when I try not to look inside
Well, I can run but I can’t hide

Run (clap) run to the next big thrill (clap)
Run (clap) run (clap) you better hold still (clap)
Run (clap) run - don’t run too far
Cause wherever you go (clap) there you are! (clap)
