Hey, everybody out there in the real world
Yeah, I'm talkin' to you
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?

Ain't no way to explain it
That thing they call the blues
We gotta get together people
If we're ever gonna make it through

So stop runnin'
Away from everything
Stop runnin'
It's a better day, yeah

So maybe you ain't got a million bucks, it's okay
And somehow you're always down on your luck
Well, brothers and sisters I've been there too, yes, I am

And if them old rainclouds won't leave you alone
And you're feelin' like you ain't got a place to call home
Start singing along and turn yourself around

And stop runnin'
Away from everything
Stop runnin'
It's a better day
Somewhere, somehow somebody's gonna you
And all you gotta do is help them sing along
So they can understand

Stop runnin'
Away from everything
Stop runnin'
It's a better day

Stop runnin' away
Stop runnin'
Away from everything
Stop runnin' away

Stop runnin'
Away from everything
