Runaway Sky

The door slammed shut the echoes fade Bruises heal but scars remain I'm tracing roads I've never known A map of hope carved in my bones The weight I carried broke my back But I won't live under attack I'm running fast; I'm burning bright Chasing down a better life No more chains to hold me down I'm breaking free leaving this town The past is ash it won't define I'm finding peace this life is mine I'm running to the edge of the sky Where no one knows the tears I've cried A brand-new name a brand-new start I'm building a home from my broken heart The darkness fades as the sun will rise I'll find myself beneath the runaway sky Every mile erases pain But ghosts still whisper in the rain Their shadows stretch but I won't fall I've learned to fight I've seen it all The roads ahead aren't always clear But I'm alive and that's enough here I'll keep my head above the waves Every step a soul reclaimed No more fear to guide my days I'm breaking out of this endless maze The past can't touch the strength I've found I'm standing tall on solid ground I'm running to the edge of the sky Where no one knows the tears I've cried A brand-new name a brand-new start I'm building a home from my broken heart The darkness fades as the sun will rise I'll find myself beneath the runaway sky The bruises fade the memories sting But I'm not tied to anything I'm more than what they tried to break A fighter now my soul awake I'm running to the edge of the sky Where no one knows the tears I've cried A brand-new name a brand-new start I'm building a home from my broken heart The darkness fades as the sun will rise I'll find myself beneath the runaway sky The road is long the night is wide But I've got fire burning inside A runaway sky a life untamed I'll rise again no longer ashamed
