Land of Color's song 'Running' is a reflective Christian piece about the struggle to stop fleeing from God and instead rest in His presence. The lyrics depict a person exhausted from trying to meet others' expectations and seeking love in wrong places, yet hearing God's gentle call to come and sit at His feet. The song explores themes of surrender, identity, and the tension between old habits and the desire to change. It resonates with anyone who has felt the pull to run back to familiar but unhealthy patterns while knowing deep down that what they truly need is God.

I can hear you calling me

Come my child

Sit down at my feet

You're so tired trying to be

Everything that everybody wants you to be, I know

Why am I running

From the one I need the most

I keep running

Goin back to what I know

So why am I running

From the one I need the most

I keep running - running

It?s just like me to fall back in my ways

Trying to find love

In all the wrong the places

It?s not easy to see

That being who I am

Is who you want me to be, I know

Why am I running

From the one I need the most

I keep running

Goin back to what I know

So why am I running

From the one I need the most

I keep running - running

I?m not doin the things that I wanna

I'm giving up on the man I?m becoming

And I don't know why

I am scared to death if I?m honest

I am just a kid in my heart with a question

Do I belong 'cause I wanna belong

So why am I running

From the one I need the most

I keep running

Goin back to what I know

Why am I running

From the one I need the most

I keep running - running

I can hear you calling me

Come my child and sit down at my feet
