Run Boy Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

you cannot stop a river if it has a place to go 

you can rediret the water but you can't arrest the flow 

you can dam it, but you'll damn yourself 

then you'll never know 

where the river would have taken you if you had let it 

run boy, run boy 

the ground feels strange, strange beneth your feet 

the ice looks thin, the water looks so deep 

there is no right or wrong path, only good or bad 

the bad one leaves you looking back at what you could have had, 

you better 

run boy, run boy 

the silence of your planted feet is rising out with danger 

run boy, run boy 

before the need to move and grow will grow into a stranger 

you have to stick your neck out to reach for the top 

lay it all on the line, pull out all the stops 

jump in with both feet where the wild river runs 

you'll prove them all wrong who said it could not be done 

stand up, stand up, everything has it's price 

the more you achieve, the more you sacrifice 

don't you listen when you're told about the "best days in your life" 

a useless old expression it means passing time until you die 

run boy, run boy 

the silence of your planted feet is ringing out with danger 

run boy, run boy 

before the need to move and grow will grow into a stranger 

somebody's watching you somebody's watching you 

i'm out here watching you telling you to run 

you will never stop this river 

it has a place to go!
