2016

[Chorus]
Runaway child, that's who I am, yeah
I'm praying, I'm praying for a godsend
'Cause this world is spinnin'
And my mind begins to overflow, overflow, so
Runaway child, that's who I am, I am, yeah

[Verse 1]
Baby
I've been flying lately
My head in the sky now
I'm so decorated
Fuck what they've been saying
My shits underrated
I do this for fun, yeah
And this my safe haven
And I may never come down now, now, now
Got my feet runnin' on the ground, ground, ground
Tell my mama that I'm safe and sound, sound, sound
And I won't stop, and I won't stop
'Cause I'm a

[Chorus]
Runaway child, that's who I am, yeah
(Ru-runaway)
I'm praying, I'm praying for a godsend
(Ru-runaway, ru-ru-runaway)
'Cause this world is spinnin'
And my mind begins to overflow, overflow, so
Runaway child, that's who I am, I am, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Time keeps moving and I can't slow down
Look at all these thoughts spinnin' round and round
If they wanna talk about it let 'em talk about it
But I'm livin' good, so I'm all about it
And you know that I'm out here
Waiting for the sun to shine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
As soon as i touch the ground
I'ma be taking flight, yeah
Cause I'm a

[Chorus]
Runaway child, that's who I am, yeah
(Ru-runaway)
I'm praying, I'm praying for a godsend
(Ru-runaway, ru-ru-runaway)
'Cause this world is spinnin'
And my mind begins to overflow, overflow, so
Runaway child, that's who I am, I am, yeah, yeah
Runaway child, that's who I am, yeah
(Ru-runaway)
I'm praying, I'm praying for a godsend
(Ru-runaway, ru-ru-runaway)
'Cause this world is spinnin'
And my mind begins to overflow, overflow, so
Runaway child, that's who I am, I am, yeah, yeah
