I would have liked my simple life to go uninterrupted.
I did not care to know about the hopelessly corrupted.
I thought I was no better than the rest.
Then God chose me, and put me to the test
All at once there were places to go, and people to see,
and cities to save. That's a lot for a guy like me.
So I went...

Chorus

Running from my future, running from my name,
running from my calling. running from my shame.
I went running from the voice that was too hard to follow;
Running 'cross the land, running to the sea.
I was running from the choice that was too big to swallow,
and something even bigger up and swallowed me....
