I know the song that says I’m prone to wander,
but I like to think I know where this road leads.
I’m on a search for heaven when I leave You,
Just to find that hell’s where I’m alone with me.

V2
I’m angry like the father that you gave me
And stubborn like the one you gave to him.
So how could You expect me just to trust You
When You know that I’m afraid You’re just like them?

C1
Oo, I’m a runner, I’m a chaser, I’m a lover
Of all the things that pull me from Your side,
But You tell me that You love me like no other,
And maybe one day I’ll believe You’re right.

V3
I know I’ll have to pay for what I’m doing.
The preacher says that justice must be done.
I know the things I’ve done have made You angry,
But the Bible says You’ve placed that on Your Son.

V4
I’m fearless on my best and on my worst days.
It’s hard to think You see through that facade.
You know I run 'cause I’m afraid of living,
But life without Your love's just a mirage.

C2
Oo, I’m a runner, I’m a chaser, I’m a lover
Of all the things that pull me from Your side,
But You tell me that You love me like no other,
And maybe one day I’ll believe You’re right.

V5
There’s a thousand other places I would run to
Before I dared to look You in the eyes,
But there’s something in Your gaze that makes me wonder
If You’ve really loved me this way all this time.

C3
Oo, I’m a runner, I’m a chaser, I’m a lover
Of all the things that pull me from Your side,
But You tell me that You love me like no other,
And maybe one day I’ll believe You’re right.

T1
And there’s nothing that can take me from Your sight.
