Run
It's hard for those with a consciousness of time
To even consider the idea of investing
If every moment is precious
This is no small request your asking
And it's never some small moment
They always ask for so much
Can no one understand
The memories that are lost
Or the ones that are never had
A deep conversation with your love
Or a child's first word
This is what you ask me to surrender
This is what you'd have me give up
So judge me if you will
But I have no regrets
Everytime they said don't do it son
In a blink I was gone
They said I'd have to always look
Over my shoulder all my life
But truth be told I never did
Not even one time
Nearly two decades I spent
Free and living life
That I otherwise would have spent
Locked away or paying fines
Sooner or later they said
You will see the light
Yet here we are twenty years later
And I'm still waiting for the sight
When I think of the things
I never woulda done
I swear I am so deeply thankful
That I chose to run
