Outstrip Fate

i've been to the mountain, i've been to the sea
the earth won't share her secret with me
the wind told me to send my soul floating free
but i'm still anchored securely, lost & lonely

i want to run away,
but would my feet be fleet enough to outstrip my fate

i've been wounded & i'm bleeding pride
a little girl with trusting arms stretched wide
to catch a love that cheated, stole, abondoned, & lied
no time to mourn, just another thorn-pierced side

i want to run away
but would my feet be fleet enough to outstrip my fate

good intentions & kindly meant advice
everyone thinks they know how to fix my life
ignore the heartache, smile & play nice
but don't ask why, don't ever ask why

i want to run away, but would my feet be fleet enough to outstrip my fate
