Sometimes I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
And it brings me to my knees
Sometimes, I feel as though the things I know I can't control
Somehow find a way to take control of me

At the point I can no longer fight it
The only way I can describe it
That feelin' when I'm feelin' all alone
I wanna run away, run away home

Sometimes, it gets so hard to find that silver linin'
When the clouds come rollin' in
A sky of blue turns to gray and there's no shelter from the rain
And it feels as though the storm will never end

That's when there's nothin' like a mother's arms
To break the fall and heal the scars
In those times when I feel lost and all alone
I wanna run away, run away home

Long enough to get my feet back on the ground
Where I can rest and catch my breath and lay my burdens down
Back where no one knows me except those few who love me only
For who I was, not what I am, where I can be myself again

Sometimes I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
And it brings me to my knees
Sometimes, I feel as though the things I know I can't control
Somehow find a way to take control of me

At the point I can no longer fight it
The only way I can describe it
That feelin' when I'm feelin' all alone
I wanna run away, run away home
I wanna run away, run away home
