Story Behind The Song
This song was originally R&B with pop lyrics. They were changed in 1993, when it became clear that we can't always fix things that are broken. It's just me on rhythm guitar and vocals, accoustic version.

Lyrics
Run To You c1993, Laura Parker & Karen Reeves
Wen I feel like a stranger
In a strange lonely land
With no friendly face without a helping hand
When it seems there's no hope
For dreams to come true
That is the time
I run to you
Chorus:
Yes that is why I run to you
Yes that is why I run to you
All of those things
I put my faith in
They let me down
Alone and crying
But you give me something
That's solid and true
And yes that is why
I run to you
Chorus:
Yes that is why I run to you
Yes that is why I run to you
Bridge:
When darkness is falling you're my guiding light
You give me strength to stand up and fight
When I'm drownin' in tears You reach out your hand
And I know, that with you
I'm home again
Well I learn the hard way
I've done foolixh things
And found out the pain
My stubborn pride brings
The hurt we cause others
and the damage we do
But the healing starts
When I run to you
Chorus:
Yes that is why I run to you
Yes that is why I run to you
Yes that is why I run to you
Yes that is why I run to you
