Lyrics
Are you running away? /
Are you running away? /
Are you running away? /
Are you running away? /
The moon has dipped into darkness /
While the heat erases lines in my mind /
And all I can remember /
Is my wanting a memory, a space /
A place I can find some power some peace, a song or rhyme /
Of a message from inside that reminds me /
Of the eternal joy I am /
Of the eternal joy I am /
Chorus 2
Well sometimes I get lost /
Blindness has corrupted my seeing /
And I can't feel the support of love's hand upon my being /
The path it feels lost /
Not clear the direction which way is home /
To the well of deep connection /
Chorus 1
Are you running away? /
Are you running away? /
Are you running away? /
Are you running away? /
Why does source feel so far away? /
Feels like we've been traveling lifetimes of days /
Ever searching, wanting, tasting /
Never wasting each moment that nears /
Where our magic spills out in tears /
And intention speaks out in prayers /
Where our needs are fulfilled /
And our hearts for once are still /
I do send a beckoning call /
While the weaver weaves the dream /
And the spiral collects us all /
As the illuminated moon beams /
We are illuminated moon beams /
Chorus 2
Well sometimes I get lost /
Blindness has corrupted my seeing /
And I can't feel the support of love's hand upon my being /
The path it feels lost /
Not clear the direction which way is home /
To the well of deep connection /
To the well of deep connection /
To the well of deep connection /
I was running for my whole life /
Sat awake on cold nights /
Facing all my fears /
Burning incense through the stove pipe /
Then I saw my soul's light /
Rising on its own flight /
Streaking past the stars /
In the darkness glowing so bright /
Home is where there's no fight /
Remembering it's all right /
To feel the truth within /
And tip my chin up to a tall height /
I've never been the blind type /
But seeing goes beyond sight /
I think I'll gather up the speed
And leap right off this halfpipe /
