Now I Run

About Now I Run

"Now I Run" is a song by Australian singer Shannon Noll. Released in 2006, it was the third single from Noll's second album, Lift. The song is written in honour of Noll's father, who was killed in a tragic farming accident. Their close relationship is clearly evident, with the lyrics of the chorus including the words: "Everything that I am, comes from a better man." It was praised by music critics, with influential Australian music reviewer Cameron Adams naming "Now I Run" as one of his top singles of 2006, describing it as "So soaked in raw emotion you can imagine the goose bumps on his arms as he's singing". The single peaked at number six on the Australian Singles Chart. Noll performed the song during a special episode of the Nine Network's The Footy Show in Beaconsfield, Tasmania, to celebrate the rescue of trapped miners Todd Russell and Brant Webb. The B-side, "What Does It Do to Your Heart", was later included on Noll's UK debut album, What Matters the Most. more »

Tell me how the circle ends 
Theres no beginning 
Everything that came before 
Will come round again 
And I look in the mirror 
My fathers eyes look back at me 

He gave me a road to choose 
He gave me freedom 
And I pray Im strong enough 
To walk in his shoes 
And I hope that I become 
Half the man he'd want me to be 

'Cause I feel you guiding me 
Showin me the way when Im misdirected 
I know your not here but I feel connected 

[Chorus] 
'Cause everything that I am 
Comes from a better man 
And all that Ive said and done 
Can't rewrite my history 
Right there for all to see 
I'm just my fathers son 
Taught me to walk, now I run 
Now I run 

Sometimes when I lose myself 
In my weakness 
I can feel the touch of his 
Unmistakable hands 
And theyre pushing me forward 
Back into the circle again 

And I hope my son sees in me 
The kind of man that he was to me 

[Chorus] 

And everything that I am 
comes from a better man 
And all that Ive said and Ive done 
Cant rewrite my history 
Right there for all to see 
I'm just my fathers son 
Taught me to walk, now I run 
I run
