Run Away Lyrics by Rika (NYC)

A New York Love Affair

2019

Oooooh...
[Verse 1]
Guy next to me reads the paper on the train
I take a quick glance then I look away
Cuz sometimes it’s too much to take
Rose colored glasses on today
But lately, shit has gotten too real
Can’t just wish for Utopian ideals
Hashtags ain’t enough, even prayers ain’t enough, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
I was raised to believe everybody is equal
Can’t believe there are people
Who are so damn evil
I pledge to look out for all my sisters and brothers
No matter orientation, gender, religion, or color
Can’t
[Chorus]
Can’t run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Can’t run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
[Verse 2]
Oooh if you feel scared
Please know there’s so many who care
Please know there is more good than not
Please don’t let the dark shut the light in your heart
So, while we fight the good fight
Nurture yourself, treat yourself right
Do what you love, go live your life
Don’t follow fear
'Cause that’s what they’d like
[Pre-Chorus]
I was raised to believe everybody is equal
Can’t believe there are people
Who are so damn evil
Let’s pledge to look out for all our sisters and brothers
No matter orientation, gender, religion, or color
[Chorus]
Can’t run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Can’t run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
[Bridge]
All of us for justice gotta make our stance known (gotta get on up)
Though it can be tough keep speaking up and stand strong (I know it's tough)
If we came together, could do more than we know (yeah)
Outshine the hate with love in droves and droves
So we won’t
[Chorus]
Can’t run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Can’t run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Can’t run away, can’t run away
Can’t run away
Can’t run away, can’t run away
Can’t run away, no no no no
[Outro]
I was raised to believe everybody is equal
Can’t believe there are people
Who are so damn evil
Let’s pledge to look out for all our sisters and brothers
No matter orientation, gender, religion, or color
