keep running - jimmy hicks lyrics

[verse 1]
i was talkin’ to mama ’bout life the other day
said it hadn’t been easy, but lord, he made a way
the ’60s was tough and i had some stormy weather
in the ’70s, he kept my family all together
the ’80s, he kept us in school to complete
in the ’90s, he kept us from drugs on the street
2000, i’m pushin’ up until this very moment (very moment)
motivated, and yes, i still want it
the lord’s good (he’s good), he’s my choice
mama cried out from the top of her voice

[chorus]
i’ve been running for jesus a mighty long time
i’m not tired yet
i’ve been running for jesus a mighty long time
i’m not tired yet

[verse 2]
mama said somethin’
settle down (settle down), little child
it’s gotta last for a while
we’re livin’ in tough times
brutality (ooh) and violent crimes
the lord’s good, he’s my choice
i’ll shout it from the top of my voice
[chorus]
i’ve been running for jesus a mighty long time
i’m not tired yet
i’ve been running for jesus a mighty long time
i’m not tired yet
been running for jesus a mighty long time
i’m not tired yet
i’ve been running for jesus a mighty long time
i’m not tired yet

[bridge]
wait a minute
running, running, running, running (come on, keep on, keep on running)
running, running, running, running (hold on, don’t stop, keep on, keep your eyes on the prize)
running, running, running, running (keep your eyes, my brother, my sister)
running, running, running, running, run (some of y’all just might wanna know, listen)

[verse 3]
how can i keep holding on?
violence rapid in the land (ooh yeah)
how can i pray and be strong?
our baby’s headed to iran
when will we ever see peace?
said make america great again
when will the hatred here cease?
it’s like america hate again
how can i stand for what’s right?
crooked cops and politicians
how can we stay in this fight?
can we survive in these conditions?
how can i hold back the tears?
anoint your daughters and your sons
how can i face all my fears?
who’s in the white house? (run)
when will we ever see peace?
many dying on the streets
when will the trouble here cease?
fathers wake up out of your seats
how can i stand and not stop?
keep the faith, already done
how can i bend and not drop?
come on, let’s get on our feet
[verse 4]
keep running
people quitting, throwing in the towel
keep running
starting out fast, just for a little while
keep running
some resting, stopping and even retire
keep running
started out hot, but they lost the fire
keep pushing
push past the lies and pain (lord, have mercy)
keep pushing
push past the hurt and the rain
keep pushing
keep the faith and you just claim it
watch the haters, debaters, agitators
you name it
keep speaking
god told the light what it should do
keep speaking
he told the fig tree, bare no fruit
keep speaking
he rebuked the wind and it had to hear
keep speaking
everything god made had an ear
keep running
don’t give up, please don’t doubt (don’t you doubt)
keep running
been knocked down, but not knocked out
keep running
don’t listen to your last mistake
you might bend, bow, but you won’t break (ooh)
you might bend, bow, but you won’t break (oh, lord)
you might bend, bow, but you won’t break (oh)
you keep running
