Run Lyrics by Judy Collins

Silver Skies Blue

2016

[Verse 1: Judy Collins]
In a country that pretends to learn
From tragedy and pain
Revolution is a neverending game
The cards are dealt
The odds are known
The winners hide away
'Til fortune brings them 'round again
It's a wound that seems too large to mend

[Chorus: Judy Collins with Ari Hest]
I want to run
Away from it
I want to run
Don't wanna stay for it
I want to run
Far as I can go
But it's not the answer
I want to run
Because I've seen enough
I want to run
But I can't give up
I won't run

[Verse 2: Judy Collins with Ari Hest]
There are those that I believe
Have courage fit to lead
But they say the damage has been done
And that all that's left to do
Is hope and pray for miracles
They've decided that the darkness has won
As if blind to each morning's sun

[Chorus: Judy Collins & Ari Hest]
Makes me wanna run
Away from it
I want to run
Don't wanna stay for it
I want to run
Far as I can go
But it's not the answer
I want to run
But I'm never through
I want to run
There's more that I can do
I won't run
I won't run

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Judy Collins & Ari Hest]
I wanna run
Away from it
I want to run
Don't wanna stay for it
I want to run
Far as I can go
But it's not the answer
I want to run
But I'm never through
I want to run
There's more that I can do
I won't run
I won't run
I won't run
I won't run
