This week’s tune is a song about never giving up and shutting down any negativity that prevents us from following our dream.

They have had many hit songs since the start of their band in 2002, including the Grammy Nominated song “Apologize.” The band released their new single “Run” in May 2021.

“…They’ll say that you might lose it all. So I run until I hit that wall”
Lyrics
All I did was run, run, run, run, run
Staring at the lights, they look so pretty
Momma said, “Son, son, son, son, son”
“You’re gonna grow up, you’re gonna get old”
“All that glitters don’t turn to gold”
“But until then, just have your fun”
“Boy, run, run, run, run, run”
Run, run, run
All I did was pay, pay, pay, pay, pay
And every single dime that good Lord gave me
I could make it last three, four, five days
Living it up but living down low
Chasing that luck before I get old
And looking back, oh, we had some fun
Boy, run, run, run, run, run
They’ll say that you might lose it all
So I run until I hit that wall
Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings
Look to the rising sun and run, run, run
Yeah, one day I could lose it all
So I run until I hit that wall
If I learned one lesson, count your blessings
Look to the rising sun and run, run, run
But I got what I need, yeah, yeah
I see that light in the morning
Shining down on me
So take me up high, take me down low
Where it all ends nobody knows
But until then let’s have some fun
Yeah, run, run, run, run, run
They’ll say that you might lose it all
So I run until I hit that wall
Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings
Look to the rising sun and run, run, run
Yeah, one day I could lose it all
So I run until I hit that wall
If I learned one lesson, count your blessings
Look to the rising sun and run, run, run
Yeah, run, run, run
Look to the rising sun
Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings
Look to the rising sun
Look to the rising sun, yeah, run, run, run
