Run Like The River

One hopeful road
That my mamma showed to me
From the moment I first standed
I didn't know
Back there and then she released me free
From that patched up shackle down my pa was handed

She said Tyrone
Go be the King you're meant to be
Like a stone roll on your mission
Hurry now, son
'Cause there are songs need to be sung
And you're the one to reach the heart and it will listen

Mother said, "Run, Baby, run"
Go ahead, "Run, Baby, run"
Mother said, "Run, baby, run"
Run like the river

As wheels do turn
Is how I go you all sure should know
As flames do burn I am ignited
Towards the wind
Through squinted eyes I look ahead
'Cause in the end the road behind me long been ridin'

Mother said, "Run, Baby, run"
(Mother said, "Run, Baby, run")
Go ahead, "Run, Baby, run"
(Go ahead, "Run, Baby, run")
Mother said, "Run, baby, run"
(Mother said, "Run, baby, run")
Run like the river
Run Like the river

Mother said, "Run, Baby, run"
(Mother said, "Run, Baby, run")
Go ahead, "Run, Baby, run"
(Go ahead, "Run, Baby, run")
Mother said, "Run, baby, run"
(Mother said, "Run, baby, run")
Run like the river
Run like the river
Run like the river
Run like the river

Run, Baby, run
(Run, Baby, run)
Oh, run, Baby, run
(Run, Baby, run)
Run, Baby, run
(Run, Baby, run)
Run like the river

Mother said, "Run, Baby, run"
(Mother said, "Run, Baby, run")
Run, Baby, run; My Baby, run
Run, Baby, run
(Run, Baby, run)
Mother said, "Run, Baby, run"
(Mother said, "Run, Baby, run")
Run like the river
Run like the river

Run, Baby, run
(Run, Baby, run)
My Momma said, "Run, Baby, run"
(Run, Baby, run)
Hopeful road my Momma showed to me
Run, Baby, run
(Run, Baby, run)
Run like the river
Run like the river
Run like the river
Run like the river
The river
