Steve Perry: Running alone [lyrics]

Steve Perry

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

Waitin' 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'

CHORUS

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 callin', callin'

Callin' yesterday

Oh sweet memories

Returning to me now

When young eyes saw clearly

CHORUS
