Running Alone

Looking down I watch the night Running from the sun Orphan stars and city lights Fading one by one Oh sweet memories I call on you now Two too many hearts been broke Along this lonely road Steel grey eyes can shine the lies Until they look like gold Cold city sidewalks can turn your heart to stone The street won't defeat me Cause I've got the will I'll survive I don't mind runnin' alone I believe that every soul Has a song to sing The spirit's locked in every man Waiting for a wing Oh so much is wasted And oh so little used The trick of the dreamer Is keeping yourself from the blues And I don't mind runnin' Everyone's a hero If you want to be Everyone's a prisoner Holding their own key Every step I take Every move I make Always one step closer I don't mind runnin' alone Laughing children echo down The concrete alleyways Oh their voices Calling, calling, calling yesterday Oh sweet memories Returning to me now When young eyes saw clearly Everyone's a hero It you want to be Everyone's a prisoner Holding their own key Every step I take Every move I make Always one step closer I don't mind runnin' alone --- Running Alone - Steve Perry
