Run With Us is the ending (credits) theme of Canadian animated television series The Raccoons. It was written by Kevin Gillis, Steven Lunt and Jon Stroll. It was originally sung by Steven Lunt in the first season, but it would later become a single when Lisa Lougheed sang it in the second, third, fourth, and fifth seasons. Years later, Lisa Lougheed's version of this song is also featured in the closing credits of the 2011 black comedy action exploitation film Hobo with a Shotgun.

During the first season for Steven Lunt's version, after the intro the chorus was sung once and repeated for time. However, when Lisa Lougheed's version was used in seasons 2-5, the first verse and the chorus were sung.

The music video for Lisa Lougheed's version that used clips only from The Raccoons and the Lost Star with a blue-coloured tint added to it.

"Run With Us" was the first track on Evergreen Nights.

It was also released as a single, with "Hold Back Tomorrow" as its B-side.

Lyrics[]

Steven/Lisa:
When darkness falls
Leaving shadows in the night
Don't be afraid
Wipe that fear from your eyes
If a desperate love
Keeps on driving you wrong
Don't be afraid
You're not alone

You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free
Come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

When the cold wind blows
Turn your collar to the cold
Don't be ashamed
If you need someone to hold
If you're sinking in quicksand
And it's dragging you down
And you feel you're going under
We'll be around

You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free
Come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

When you're behind closed doors
All alone by yourself
And you're longing inside
To be somebody else
You pick up the telephone
And there's no one on the line
Don't be afraid
'Cause there's still time

You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free
Come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

Oh-oh-oh, run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free
Come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

Oh-oh-oh, run with us
