Oh, these fingers hurt from holding on My feet been walking for oh, so long However thick it gets, feel me I am strong, And you can’t do no wrong, that I can’t take My back won’t break! It’s the spirit thing y'all, Watch me run into the light See the shine upon my face, Walking bold to the newest place.
Believe me, believing in myself, See me move with stealth Told my victory and you must know my wealth!
Chorus: Run into the light, Lifting you head to the sky Let the sunshine dry your eyes! Run into the light, Though it may burn you will see, That again surely set you free!
Though it’s got me pressed, I’m pushing through this stress, Watch me stress to meet the need My future’s what I got to feed. And though they’re my heels I’ll use my wings to fly I will not be put down I’ll meet the Heavens high!
And you can’t twist my faith Faith I had for years Despite my tears They are the ray that will make me grow!
Chorus: (2x) Run into the light, Lifting you head to the sky Let the sunshine dry your eyes! Run into the light, Though it may burn you will see, That again surely set you free!
Cut me gone and into the light I need the sun in order to fight For the night might drag me back I’m not down, I am the black! Upon whom your hope will stack? Don’t you see it is a fact That you can’t hold me back? You can’t hold me, hey, oh!
Chorus: (2x) Run into the light, Lifting you head to the sky Let the sunshine dry your eyes! Run into the light, Though it may burn you will see, That again surely set you free!
