I RAN: From The Undeniable's Book Of Lyrix

I Ran

I ran away from the Mid-West and ran closer to the Eastern shore
Then I ran to the West Coast looking for my dreams and more
I ran from sea to shining sea trying to find someone to love me
I ran in search of fame and gold
If I’d only run to you I’d be my home

I ran to a ghostly martyr and I prayed to an empty god
I ran to a trinity of fathers and was denied acceptance and love
I ran, I ran so far away trying to find release from the pain
And a past I didn’t want to know
If I’d only run to you I’d be my home

Don’t you see, you are my everything, you are the reason I live
Don’t you see, in all this running, I was looking for someone to give...
Me all that I thought I wanted-
Me the dreams that I’ve concocted
Now I realize there no where left to go
But to you the one I  call home

I ran away from you and you graciously set me free
I ran from the only thing that ever mattered to me
I ran, I ran so far from your heart
Now I'm runnin' back to your open arms
I’m tired of running here, there, to and fro’
Baby, I’m running to you- You’re my home

He's watching. . .
He's waiting. . .
with a robe and a kiss.

He loves His lost son with a Father's heart.
Happy Christmas Undy!

His love, -Mark

Beautiful. I love the last verse, especially the line: I ran away from you and you graciously set me free.

I can't wait to hear the song!

Your narrator's lover sounds like a keeper. There's nothing more generous than setting your significant other free, if they ask.

Thanks for posting this to The Surreal Circus. It's not surreal in style, but I'm sure that the video will be!

The world raised me up..but the gods would not have it
dreams tired tragic
and to earth are abandoned
light the candles
and give voice to an old lover's prayer
the heart beat still strong
but the sound is not there



best to ya....loved the lyrics....made me all poetic...LOL
The Undeniable Dec 20, 2008, 11:00pm EST
hey, thank you all... ann, of course you know my lover, husband and best friend, d.gauss, is a total keeper! and i love the fact he "set me free" by supporting me in this move across country. but now, regardless of how much i love the west coast and even though i have played some killer gigs and done 18 music videos here... i long to be with him and my wife and sons. i have learned my family is my home!

Excellent lyrics! Keep up the good work - and any other thing that's good to keep up ;>)

Home is, where the heart is! Your heart keeps growing,
and may it keep growing, size after size too large,
till the world is your oyster!
But what a wonderful miracle of love it is,
that you have found already a stable "headquarters"
for your heart's grand quest!
May love conquer all!
The Undeniable Dec 21, 2008, 6:42pm EST
