Kiwanuka, Michael - No More Running Lyrics






1, 2, 3, 4

Mama she said
Got to keep him close to you
Got to keep him close to you
You might be alright
Mama she said
Got to keep him close to you
Got to keep him close to you
You might be alright
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime
No more running through the wars in the days
No more holding on to something just to leave you
Who goes running through those alleys anyway?
Mama she said
Keep it behind you
Keep it behind you
You might be alright
Mama she said
Keep it behind you
Keep it behind you
You might be alright
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime
No more running through the wars in the days
No more holding on to something just to leave you
Who goes running through those alleys anyway?
Mama she said
Hold your head up high
Keep your head up high
You might be alright
Mama she said
Hold your head up high
Keep your head up high
You might be alright
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime
No more running through the wars in the days
No more holding on to something just to leave you
Who goes running through those alleys anyway?

    dear frank i wish you the best. my husband died recently due to alcohol. hold your head up high my friend. it pains me so that he is gone. i recently finished a book, In the realm of the hungry ghosts. i recommended everyone to read. the story teaches us compassion and gives the reader a better understanding of why people use, i only wish i had found the book about 15 years ago. peace to you. i love all of this special artist music

    E.... C....

    Sorry for your loss.

    Wow What a discovery, just when you think that the modern artists are shit! a GEM like this guy turns up!! Next time im in the city I will be looking for his albums, like many the film brought this to me, the film is forgettable but this song will live with me for a long time, his voice is hauntingly nice....

    E.... J....

    Ellery J Queen pretty much everything you wrote is exactly what i’m thinking right now. Just come across this guys music (randomly via youtube though) and it truly is different class. Definitely buying his albums soon.

    I love this song. I've been destroyed by drugs
    And alcohol for a lot of years. Got some years of sobriety now, so after I saw the
    Movie and heard the song it made me
    Cry. Out of gratitude of course. Now
    When i listen to music I hear angels sing.

    F.... L....

    Franck don't destroy you,take care about you,the life is beautiful if you know how to take the good way to open the light in your mind ! The USA are magnifical country for the people who know to observe and listen .........Good Luck !

    F.... L....

    From someone who struggles with opioid addiction this inspiring,I hope for the day I can listen to music sober and fall back In love with it when I was my 14 y/o dorky self

    F.... L....

    Wow. Thanks for sharing mate.

    F.... L....

    God's blessings. You are fighting the great fight and nobody knows.

    F.... L....

    Frank, you are dead on! (or should I say alive on). I'm pretty much the same, although I didn't do drugs, the alcohol nearly killed me. Like you I'm in sobriety and fell in love with the song after watching the movie. It too, is a testament to the every day struggles we have most folks never see. You keep going brother, Thank you for the post.

  66. W.... G....

    The movie was worth watching just to find this tune.

  67. D.... J....
