JD Eicher — Not Everybody Runs — lyrics
She wrote a letter to the warden Said
«The system isn’t working»
I know a paper says
I’ve served my time
But I ain’t well
You see
Your mind becomes the prison
When you’re fighting down a demon
And I’ve barely gotten used to the bars of my little cell
No, I don’t know anybody here without a fear
No, nobody’s ever gonna shake that cage
But I, I wanna let you know
There isn’t any part of me afraid to hope
No, no I don’t wanna run away
Not everybody runs»
He held his hand up to her stomach
She knew he never saw it coming
And she wrestled with the newborn fear
That he would leave
But he said
«Baby I’m not going »
It won’t be easy, but we’ll own it
I won’t allow myself to father all the same mistakes mine made
No, I don’t know anybody here without a fear
No, nobody’s ever gonna shake that cage
But I, I wanna let you know
There isn’t any part of me afraid to hope
No, no I don’t wanna run away Not everybody runs»
Not everybody’s running, everybody’s not running out
Not everybody’s running, everybody’s not running now
He put the gun against his shoulder
He never knew he’d be the soldier
But if you listened, you could hear him shouting louder than the bullet rain
No, I don’t know anybody here without a fear
No, nobody’s ever gonna shake that cage
But I, I wanna let you know
There isn’t any part of me afraid to hope
No, no I don’t wanna run away Not everybody runs
Where you running, where you running
Ain’t it funny where we’re running
She wrote a letter to the warden
«Don’t you let me out»
