Running - Vee Makaba

I'm running.
I'm fat, I'm slow, I'm hurt but I'm running.
My feet won't stop moving.
They keep on going regardless of how the rest of me feels.

The shadow is big
The shadow is bad.
The shadow steals the light from inside me.
It cripples me with its darkness and fills me with sadness.
I'm running from the shadow.

Some days running from the shadow is easy.
Days like today the running is hard.
The shadow is faster than I expect.
Hot on my heels, it's sucking the life out of me.

All my life I've been running from the shadow
It's all I know.
I'm scared of the shadow but I'm so tired of running.
I don't know what to do
But I can't stop now
The shadow is right behind me.

I'm running.
For my life
I'm running
From the big bad shadow
