run and speak

i wanna run away

and just sing

and make music with all my soul

and dance and play
in the warm fields of my King
why is it here i must stay?
no ears are listening
hearts as black as coal
refusing to be made whole

wrong answer
those words make me feel like a deadly cancer
if you are so right
why then is your life filled with strife?
toils snares and dangers
bring me no fear
but you try to drag me into those dark places full of confusion
i will not nor cannot go there
i am in the Light and He is in me

why must i keep speaking to them?
they are not listening to the Word.
i know what You have told me so i declare Your News.
i cant do this. please take me away.
but You tell me to stay
and my heart cannot bear to go against Your will.
how much longer must i wait to leave and find Your people
some are here
but is it a lie that many more are way over there?

how easily they become offended and say i am wrong
but my heart does not break when they say these words
when i speak do i sound to them a crashing gong?
or have i become a buzzing bee
longing for them to find the cure.

repeat repeat repeat
how many other ways can i speak?
i shed no tears
let them be consumed in fears
i spoke
they scream
i walk away
their blood is on their hands
i shall keep running towards the promised land
