Runners

At one time or another we all feel the need to run
To escape our problems and be free of those around us
We try to find others like us, others who feel the way we do
Who have the same hopes, dreams, and wishes we have

We run through fields, over mountains, and across huge plains
The destination is unknown but the journey is needed
We’ll meet strangers and reunite with friends along the road
But we shall never slow or rethink our decision

Some of us stop running when we find what we’ve been looking for
The missing section of our hearts that we never knew existed
Others are forced to when they realize everything they need can’t be found
That they’ve passed right by what they wanted most

We as a people are runners
We run for ourselves and what we feel
We chase the ones we need
And we search for the things we want
