There’s a world of fire We dream of at night Thick as a fog, but sharp as a knife Its heat is burning holes And its world is coming through Cause Dreams aren’t just dreams When its world becomes true Deep lines and dust blown by the wind Leaves hints of his past on his sun-hardened skin Scars leave glimpses and clues And you imagine the stories of the hell he’s been through Let me warn you, if you’re trying to see This water is not as clear as can be Don't call him strong, thinking strength can be seen Cause it’s found in a fire that burns underneath That world we saw, someday we’ll live there The dream will come true, God will answer that prayer Cause right now, you can feel the heat As that world of fire burns its way out of our dreams

Through the forest and down the trail Runs a lone wolf chasing down a cottontail He’s not hunting for you, he’s not hunting for me And he’s sure not hunting for family He’s the fastest in the forest, he’s a pack of one His brothers would follow but they slow his run So when glitter or gold catches the lone wolf’s eyes He’ll run alone up the mountainside Lone wolf run under the silver moon His coat of grey and black blurs as he makes his move Free he lives, but alone he dies Brother don’t be fooled by selfish pride Only love can keep your soul alive Oh Why O’ why do you run so long? Are you blind to the beauty that you’re running from? Cause if a brother made you bleed or stained you red Go wash in the river and look again Brother something you may have never seen The lone wolf lived and died inside of me Why do you run? Can you see what you’re running from? Why do you run? Do you know it’s beautiful? Do you see it’s beautiful?

Smell the ramen cooking in my dorm room microwave Nothing like those mashed potatoes and gravy my mom makes Don’t you know things are better back home I wish everything was as simple as that meal But family is not, and I know just how that pain can feel Oh I wish, I wish things would be better back home I’ve seen heaven and hell living under our same roof Taking opposite corners of the ring in the living room It’s a fight to the death between those two But I know things will be better back home Hear mom and dad fighting in the laundry room It’s sad because nothing gets any better anytime soon How do you know if things will be better back home Dad packed up and left home for good today When we came home from school there was only mom left to say Kids I’m sorry things aren’t better back home Heaven may look like he’s dead right now Lying bloody and bruised, motionless on the ground But watch him rise to stand and fight He’ll swing hard and fast with all his might Cause’ I still know what lies ahead Cause heaven won’t quit until hell is dead

Well I was exiting off of the airplane And I felt the sting of cold wind and show This is nothing like the place I thought I was headed This is nothing like the place on the postcards back home So I wandered through the streets of this strange city And I couldn’t believe it when I saw the face of an old friend I don’t know how you found me here, But it’s good to see you again My friend said, “Let’s talk, tell me how you’ve been” Well I’ve been throwing up stones for the wind to catch But none have caught flight or caught wind yet So I throw them up higher to bring this to an end But the stones keep falling at my feet again And it’s hard my friend It’s hard to see the stones fall again It’s hard my friend But thank you for being here with me my friend He told me that this is just a layover on my way home And that this is not the end He looked at me right in the eyes and reminded me Who I am Oh I got a great friend, the Great Friend I’ve was throwing up stones for the wind to catch But none had caught flight or caught wind yet So I threw them up higher to bring it to an end But the stones kept falling at my feet again It was hard my friend Hard to see the stones fall again It was hard my friend But thank you for being there with me my friend

Fire burning all across this land You made me fall but then You made me stand anew You’re making me new Beauty is blowing on the coals that burn I catch a glimpse and it makes me turn to You You’re making me new Fire come down Fire come burn in me Fire come down I want the whole world to see The flicker of the flame reminds me of how lovers dance And how the strength of an army is the soldier’s romance back home How he could fight for her alone I’m drawn by a love I can’t explain Like fire started burning when I heard my name above Saying do you know you are loved Fire come and make the change You’re burning for a brand new way Fear and death and sin and shame Are burning up in beauty’s flame

Dancing Feet 03:57
I’ve been counting the measures And analyzing the melody Girl have you been thinking like that too Or just moving your feet Brown hair and a sun dress She’s dancing easy and free to her song Sometimes I think it’s harder For musicians to dance along Girl I love your dancing feet Would you come and dance with me? My mouth is dry, and my knees are weak But girl would you come and dance with me? First step on the dance floor I’m dancing like a musician So now I’m learning to feel my body move to the waves and the rhythm Cause nobody knows where this song will lead But girl we can follow the rhythm and melody Move left and move right Move left and move right Move left and move right Spin around and feel your body Move left and move right I’m not much of a writer I’m learning that everyday Instead I’m learning to listen To the Spirit of the song that plays Girl I love your dancing feet And maybe someday you’ll be dancing with me But that’s for someday to decide So dance on and let the Spirit be your guide

Heart 04:20
You made me a china doll that looks like you But without some things I like about you Like your slightly crooked smile I think is beautiful You may look perfect in porcelain But porcelain stone never could be skin Do you know you’re so much prettier in skin than stone I’ll ask of you something more The deeper things let’s bargain for What would it take for you to give Me your heart? Soon your promotion came, yeah you’ve come so far The CEO finally saw the type of man you are Now the whole office calls you president Everybody’s proud of what you’ve done But remember I’ve loved you long before this had come Even back when you were living in your mom’s basement Cause you need to know that I love you for so much more than your accomplishments Would you let me see who you are Would you let me see who you are Beyond the walls you’ve built and the masks you wear Would you let me see who you are I love you with my whole heart And I will give you all I am

Good News 03:47
You might not find Him on your lunch pail Or fighting villains on the silver screen But I know when superman puts his kids to bed There’s a friend of mine who’s the hero in their dreams He’s got more brawn than Captain America More courage and strength than Wolverine You might not believe in those superheroes But I know one living among you and me He’s the greatest superhero you could meet I don’t know what you’re going through You just look like you could use good news I’m not saying just take my words I know a good, good God who just might help just might help your hurt Do you know the hallmark movie channel? Those cheesy films that make your mother always cry Well He’s the lead actor, director, and producer of that show Cause’ He's got a bigger heart than anybody you can find That's just how much He loves you and I
9.
Down by the riverside catfish are gonna die Armed with backwoods cigars, a fishing pole, and a friend by my side See the mist on the water, hear the quietness in the air It’s a beautiful place, and you can come with me there Time keeps on draggin’ on And I want to spend it with you Let the good times drag on, drag on Let the good times drag on Do you know where the time has gone, I think we lost it long ago People I love make it run away just to find its way home Time keeps on marchin’ on like soldiers footsteps, heavy and strong Time keeps on draggin’ on And I want to spend it with you Some things don’t matter as much As some people may say Because I don’t want to live for tomorrow If I’ll forget you today
10.
Let's Run 03:13
See the black ash move across the sky It’s carried by the wind Remains of our comrades firefight It’s not safe in the trenches anymore So remind yourself of what you’re fighting for and Let’s run Together to the sound of beating war drum Let’s run Together by the light of a blood red sun Tonight destiny decides in the land between Do you know the sounds of our footsteps will echo in eternity? You might think that you’re brave and it might be so But you might as well die if you go it alone Let’s run Together by the light of a blood red sun Let’s run Together to the sound of beating war drum Do you know the world waits for us to come? Let's run

Follow 03:06
There are horses born to run wild and free Who only plow for fields of green But Can the wild live on in a heart held in? Could a sailor lost in a desert land Forget how the ocean pulls the sand? For a mirage he may walk in vain But the dream would drag him on Yeah the dream would drag him on I will follow You through the great unknown Where You call my name If the stars go out on the deepest night I will follow You the same I can hear my name from the mountaintop Past the wind and jagged rock How many men have died on cliffs like these? But my Father met me in the valley low Said, “Onward son you were born to go Your feet, let them run to the rhythm of the drum That beats a better song Yeah if you Follow you’ll make it son” The horse was born to run for fields of green Sailor to sail for virgin lands no man has seen I will follow You into the great unknown Where the wild in me will live and find its home

about

The music of "Let's Run" focuses on themes such as the incredible value of relationships compared to the self-destructive nature of pride, the wildfire-like power of ideas, the yearnings of the heart to follow its dreams, and the inherent beauty of our world. The beautiful thing is that all those ideas are about Jesus. He gives people the power to overcome pride in order to the recognize and enjoy the incredible value of relationships. He gives a wildfire-like passion that burns inside individuals, causing them to spend their lives for healing in a hurt world. He gives people the courage to face the fears that hold them back from destinies and dreams set deep inside them. He is the infinite source of the goodness that pervades our universe and is the reason we can call it beautiful.
