Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooh, no more runnin'
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooh, no more runnin'

Used to be, once upon a time, that I never would fight / for somethin'
I'd back down, turn around and run and it would always come / to nothin'
But now I've found a better way, I turned my eyes and my heart up skyward
Now it's a brand new day, and it's gonna' be my finest hour
I've got the power

Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooh, no more runnin'
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooh, no more runnin'

Now nothin' keeps me down, I stand my ground when I have to
Nothing's too big or too small, I give my all and I come through
I left those running days behind, you're lookin' at a big girl now
So excuse me while I speak my mind, and turn you on to the lowdown

Now I walk in the light, and it's made my vision very clear
I've got my goal in sight, and I know I'm gonna make it there

Now it's my chance to dance, and you better believe I'm a-gonna' party
My beat may not be yours, if you can't get in to it I'm sorry
Gonna' take this world by storm, so be forewarned 'cause I'm a-comin'
So please don't get in my way, 'cause this girl ain't got no time for funnin'
And I'm not runnin'
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooh, no more runnin'
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooh, no more runnin'

Yes I've made up my mind, and I'm growing stronger everyday
I won't run, I won't hide, and nobody can turn me away
And I'm not runnin'

Yes I've made up my mind, and I'm growing stronger everyday
I won't run, I won't hide, and nobody can turn me away
I look up to the light, and with praise and joy I watch it shine
It gives me strength to fight, and ensures the victory is mine
Mine
