RUNNING OUT OF TIME 

By Stephanie Rogers © 2020 Story Jam Songs

I’m alone in a world I cannot fight
Desperation rips me up inside 
Does anybody care if I’m alive

Do you believe I deserve to die?
My struggle lives beyond the words you deny
God put here and gave me life

I know my time is short and 
My name means nothing to you 
I don’t want to leave this world behind
Every breath I take lives on 
In the name of justice 
I’m running out…I’m running out of time

I can’t live with illness anymore
Our legacy is greater than all we endure
Brothers sisters keep hope in store 

I know my time is short and 
My name means nothing to you 
Don’t want to leave this world behind
Every breath I take lives on 
In the name of justice 
I’m running out…I’m running out of time

Don’t need forever
Just a little bit longer…
