This song is based on our constant desire to "get ahead", no matter what the cost. And how, on the way down, we find the truth of what the "goal" should be.

Story behind the song

This is aboout how we are always trying to get ahead, and not caring how we do it, and what happens when it all comes crashing down.

Lyrics

Running In Place

Life is rushing ahead, you can't catch your breath
Trying to go North, but your headed West
To the promised land of your own making
Refusing to give but your always taking

C
It could have been different, you've know that all along
The Truth has always been in your face
It's time to stop and take a long look at yourself
Your whole life has been Running In Place

You climb your ladder, rung by rung
Stepping on people to get things done
Whats going to happen when the rungs collapse
Falling headlong you finally face the facts

C
And in that moment you feel something going on
A very gentle tug upon your heart
It seems familiar, in a very distant way
Someone you know, but somehow forgot

Lead

At the bottom of the ladder you use to climb
Everything's gone, your in a state of shock
You feel abandoned, everyone has turned away
So called friends say I wish you luck

C
Now it is different, the Lord stands by your side
Singing His praises don't feel so wrong
No matter what happens you know Jesus will abide
To stand beside you as you tumble along
