Running

Feet on forest floor
Thirteen miles or more
Running from a forest
Heading for a shore

Fleeing from a past
Escaping from the cast
Aiming for redemption
Need salvation fast

Body getting strong
Heart in joyous song
Sweat and dust, wind and rain
Sure that I belong

Disconnected strife
Reinvented life
Amputated faith
With reason as a knife

Self hidden from view
New love to pursue
Finding in your soul
A hope for God anew
