joanna,
what if i told you you could run?
what if i told you you could go
and never look back?
joanna,
what if i told you you could sing?
what if i told you you could grow
and never be stopped?
joanna,
what if i told you you could live
without depending on the ones
that tore you down?
joanna,
what if i told you you were strong
that your will will get you through this
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
joanna,
what if i told you that your eyes
would never have to realize you've lost again?
joanna,
what if i told you that your lips
would never tremble out of fear anymore, not anymore
{Chorus}
you can show the world you're ready
you don't have to go
you can walk along those train tracks
you don't have to go
you will show the world you're ready
you don't have to go
you will walk along your train tracks
you don't have to go
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
