Verse 1:
In a rut and nobody cares
So tired of climbing up all these stairs
But I know I gotta get up

But when I jump up I fall down
And my head is spinning around
But I know still gotta get up

Chorus:
Run faster than they can
Everybody wants every piece of me in great demand
Push through the sinking sand
There is nothing I have left to give but take my hand

Verse 2:
Everywhere that I can turn
I can feel that the sun still burns
Everyday I gotta get up

There’s no limit to the sky
Why should there be with you and I
If we rise we’re gonna get up

Chorus:
Run faster than they can
Everybody wants every piece of me in great demand
Push through the sinking sand
There is nothing I have left to give but take my hand

Run Faster Than They Can

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. All songs are original raw recordings of my songwriting journey of healing and finding peace. Maybe one of these days, I'll actually learn how to record and mix better, but until then, I'm just having fun. Many of the thumbnails are my original art creations check out my insta for more art. I hope you like it!

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.

There’s a treasure down deep in this wonderland
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
The word and rhyme, a message, in a song it stands
my rock n roll Rosetta Stone 



Run Faster Than They Can
