B B F# E
Living in the same town
For all these years
E F# G#m7
Doing the same old things
B F# E
Hanging with the same crowd
E F# B
And it’s starting to get crippling
B F# E
You’ve never felt in place
E F# G#m7
And you tell yourself it’s all okay
B F# E
But something’s different today
E F# B
You want to run the opposite way
B F# E
And it seems like you’re locked in a cage
E F# G#m7
And you need to find a way of escape
B F# E
When everyone is setting the pace
E/B F#/D# B
It’s okay to run the opposite way
The Father sent His Son down
The light of men
The cross He bore was crippling
Rejected in His own town
They couldn’t see the sun shining
He knelt in the garden and prayed
Father, let this cup pass from me
It’s not Your will for me to stay
Your will for me is the opposite way
And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
And He couldn’t find away of escape
But through the cross He conquered the grave
My Jesus ran the opposite way
B F# E
Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
E F# G#m7
Oh, He ran the opposite way
B F# E
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
E/B F#/D# B
So you could run the opposite way
