Time to Run

love will not desert me
peace will never hurt me
for hope always alerts me
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run

a smile will n'er deceive me
and the wild eyes that bind will not defeat me
for my hope will always lead me
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run

how the dark will never cover me
and my enemies never discover me
for my hope removes their misery
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run

tell me death where now is your sting?
with each breath after breath of living I sing
as my hope does strengthen and empower me
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run

no more sorrow will be placed on my shoulders
for your threat of my damnation is growing colder
since my hope has made me wise and bolder
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run

no my faith will not be shaken
when my fears have been awakened
for my hope will not forsaken me
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run

may my trust be never shattered when my heart is bruised and battered
 for my hope is all that matters
when it's time when it's time
 when it's time when it's time
to run
