Lyrics

READY TO RUN
words and music by Shawn Caldwell

[Verse 1]
She scans the sky through window’s glass
Thoughts like sirens, racing fast
Her parents’ voice, a distant hum
Exploring roads they’ve never run

[Verse 2]
Packed her bag with silent grace
No goodbye, no last embrace
She’s not broken, just undone
She’s not waiting—she’s ready to run

[Chorus]
Ready to run, into the night
No more chains to hold her tight
Ready to run, no second guess
She trades the cage for a new address

[Verse 3]
Sunday shoes, suburban street
Echoes of life on repeat
She knows their love, she feels it still
But love alone won’t break her will

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
She climbs the steps, the night is wide.
She doesn’t flinch, she doesn’t hide.
She won’t ask, won’t confess
She’s running into the wilderness.

[Chorus]

[Outro]
She didn't walk. She didn't pray.
She ran 'til it all faded away.
She felt the pull she can’t ignore.
She left it all to find a cure
