Run With My Troubles

© 2021, Lyrics by Jason Didner & Amy Didner; Music by Jason Didner


In this echo chamber of anxiety
Thoughts take on a life all of their own
Ruminating on what could become of me
Makes me feel so helpless and alone

This catastrophic thinking washes over me
Til it's all that occupies my head
Using up the balance of my energy
These feelings pin me to my bed

Taking fire left and right and in between
I need to get out for a change of scene

I can't run from my troubles
These troubles follow me around
So I'm just gonna run with my troubles
Run 'til my worried mind can settle down

I fall into a rhythm in my running shoes
Where there's just wind and sky and road
My brain and body doing what they're meant to do
Find a way to lay aside that load

I'm feeling much more human when I'm on the run
It's one stride at a time, no longer tense
Arms and legs and heart and mind at work as one
The universe just makes so much more sense

Feeling better left and right and in between
I get the grace and healing in this change of scene

I can't run from my troubles
These troubles follow me around
So I'm just gonna run with my troubles
Run 'til my worried mind can settle down

I can't run from my troubles
These troubles follow me around
So I'm just gonna run with my troubles
Run 'til my worried mind can settle 
Run 'til my worried mind can settle 
Run 'til my worried mind can settle down
