Turned my back to the city
The city that broke me
I called it home, but now
I'm breathing in guilt
Swimming in this ocean
I gave you control
Floating in my surrender
Drowning in eternity
They call me a runaway
But even those who run away
Have to run to something
Or they've nothing to do
So I run to God
And I run to you
Because love is my beacon
My run-away-run-to
You gave me a new shore
I crawled to resurrection
As the sun rose anew
Following my beacon
Fresh air in my lungs
Like my life force itself
Shaking and shivering
Frozen by what's new
They call me a runaway
But even those who run away
Have to run to something
Or they've nothing to do
So I run to God
And I run to you
Because love is my beacon
My run-away-run-to
I've been gone so long
How could you forgive
I near lost my soul
But I made it back
Because I love God
And I love you
They call me a runaway
But even those who run away
Have to run to something
Or they've nothing to do
So I run to God
And I run to you
Because love is my beacon
My run-away-run-to
Love is my fuel
My run-away-run-to.
