Rick Jeppesen - Run My Own Race Lyrics

I used to hide behind a borrowed face
Tried to win in a stranger's embrace
But now I see the light so clear
It's time to banish doubt and fear
I've chased shadows down a winding lane
Tripped on mistakes and called it pain
But the rearview's not where I belong
I've found my rhythm in my own song

Gonna run my own race keep my focus ahead
Not looking back at who's chasing instead
The past is a ghost I no longer see
Looking behind just brings regret to me

I wore disguises tried to fit a lie
Lost myself under someone else's sky
Now I'm breathing breath that's truly mine
Breaking chains leaving the past behind
Oh the road is open wide and clear
Every mile takes me closer to here
No more shadows in the rearview glass
I'm living now not tied to the past

Gonna run my own race keep my focus ahead
Not looking back at who's chasing instead
The past is a ghost I no longer see
Looking behind just brings regret to me
Gonna run my own race keep my focus ahead
Not looking back at who's chasing instead
The past is a ghost I no longer see
Looking behind just brings regret to me

I wore disguises tried to fit a lie
Lost myself under someone else's sky
Now I'm breathing breath that's truly mine
Breaking chains leaving the past behind
Oh the road is open wide and clear
Every mile takes me closer to here
No more shadows in the rearview glass
I'm living now not tied to the past

So take your mask and lay it down
Find the truth that you can call your own
We're all running in our own time and space
Chasing dreams finding our own place
Oh, the road is open wide and clear
Every mile takes me closer to here
No more shadows in the rearview glass
I'm living now not tied to the past
