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 [Incomprehensible] 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
