Lyrics
I hear the whales
I hear the whales
Lord, please help me, Lord I pray
Lord, please help me, to stop running away
Far away, Far away, Far away from You
Far away from You
I keep running, running X 4
But You know, I don't wanna, don't wanna go
I just say no
Lord give me peace in my soul but
I keep running X4
But all my paths keep running back to You
Yes, all my paths keep running back to you
I've been stuck, out at sea, I've been lost at sea
Stuck in the belly of a whale
Lord get me out of here
I keep running running X8
Lord back to You.
