While David was away on his mission he released two albums; “No Matter How Far” and “Begin”. From “No Matter How Far”, we have heard Wait, Everything And More, and Love Don’t Hate performed live. I’ve always wondered if I would have the opportunity someday to hear some of the others live too. For example, Nothing Else Better To Do, Tell Me, Heart Falls Out, Notice Me and Don’t Run Away. Don’t Run Away being at the top of my list.
What a surprise when he performed it live at Rootstech. David’s simple introduction, “I’ve never sung this next song live before, but here we go”. I recognized it immediately and just couldn’t believe it. It’s the performance I watch the most from that day. It’s David singing from his soul, the passion and cry in his voice reaching out to all.
A music video was also released while he was away which had a million views. A simple but beautiful sequence of drawings by Kylie Malchus fit the song perfectly. I was saddened that she wasn’t able to get into the conference hall at Rootstech especially since little did she know that “Don’t Run Away” was going to be performed live.
It currently has 943,801 views!
Don’t Run Away Lyrics
When something’s wrong
And too much to handle
Try to find some peace of mind
Let it go.
Wait a minute, you know this road
It’s gonna leave you on overload, yeah
‘Cause somebody cares, yeah
I can see you hurting (turn around)
I will be right there
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
When I reach out to you, look around
I will be right here
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
Tonight
Don’t make a sound
I’ll be your voice
You don’t need to be afraid
Anymore
I’ll shine a light out in the dark
Guide you here no matter how far
Oh, yeah
‘Cause somebody cares, oh yeah
I can see you hurting, (turn around)
I will be right there
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
When I reach out to you, look around
I will be right here
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
Open up, let it all out tonight, yeah
Open up, and everything will be alright
I can see you hurting, (turn around)
I will be right there
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
When I reach out to you, look around
I will be right here
Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away
Turn around, don’t run away, don’t run away
I will be right here, oh
Tonight, tonight
