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 ever gonna make it through      So stop runnin   Away from everything   Stop running   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 have      And if them old rainclouds won't leave you alone   and you feel like you don't got a place to call home   Start singing along and turn yourself around      And stop runnin   away from everything   Stop running   It's a better day      Somewhere somehow somebody's gonna need 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 running away   Stop running away from everything   Stop running away       Stop runnin   away from everything
