Lyrics
Long Distance Runner
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You are a long distance runner
You can feel the pain in your side
Yet you must run on
You are a long distance runner
Keep your face in the wind
And you'll soon be home
I can see the strain on your face
Keep your eye on the goal and you'll win the race
Up from the gun - you are no sprinter
The soles of your feet are on fire
Yet you must run on
You came to run - that's why you entered
So put one foot in front of another
'Till your race is won
I can see the strain on your face
Keep your eye on the goal and you'll win the race
You are a long distance runner
When others are falling away
Your race begins
You are a long distance runner
The Spirit that strenghens your soul
Will ensure that you win
