Come see the big world through Jesse's eyes A wild one, she always knew she'd trade her Small town for city lights, oh She had her heart set on centre stage She worked hard, saving her pennies for her Big shot, the great escape, oh Air guitar in an old garage Can you hear her? Can you hear her? And the story goes if you listen close You can hear her She's singing I just wanna run Out of the darkness, eye on the target Aiming for the Sun Stand in the fire, and if I get tired I ain't givin' up So don't you give up on me I just wanna run I just wanna run Now there's a few years in Jesse's eyes She's so tired, mile after mile she's on the Long road to paradise, oh Doubt is creeping in and she's wondering Can you hear her? Can you hear her? But the story goes, if you listen close You can hear her She's singing I just wanna run Out of the darkness, eye on the target Aiming for the Sun Stand in the fire, and if I get tired I ain't givin' up So don't you give up on me I just wanna run I just wanna run I just wanna run Miles and miles beneath my feet So don't let go, hold onto me No, there may be no stopping me this time I'm singing I just wanna run Out of the darkness, eye on the target Aiming for the Sun Stand in the fire, and if I get tired I ain't givin' up So don't you give up on me I just wanna run Run I just wanna run
