Running

Days feel like minutes

A lifetime is rushing by

You are moving in circles

It seems you're going nowhere

Keep moving, keep moving

At night you can't find sleep

And your headaches don't go away

Always giving your best

Knowing it won't be near enough

Keep moving, keep moving

Always keep moving

Or be removed

So what is that mission we're on

And when did I sign in

Is there anything in it for me at all

Still lies the ocean wide

And I hear it's calling me

To a place beyond wrong and right

Where the sky meets the sea

There's a deadline approaching

Your tax statement's overdue

An invoice unsettled

And too many bills to be paid

Keep pushing, keep pushing

There's a loan from the bank

A sales-target out of reach

A project waiting in the pipeline

And another one unfinished still

Keep pushing, keep pushing

Always keep pushing

Or be pushed around

So what is that mission we're on

And when did I sign in

Is there anything in it for me at all

Still lies the ocean wide

And I hear it's calling me

To a place beyond wrong and right

Where the sky meets the sea

Still lies the ocean deep

Such grace never met the eye

A whole world in peaceful sleep

Under a star covered sky

It's a rat race we're in

And this game that we play

Has no winner, just losers

Or total refusers that just break away

All your friends feel neglected

And your wife says that you don't care

And they all have a point

But there is a job to be done

Keep running, keep running

Always keep running

Until your time has run out

So what is that mission we're on

And when did I sign in

Is there anything in it for me at all

Still lies the ocean wide

And I hear it's calling me

To a place beyond wrong and right

Where the sky meets the sea

Still lies the ocean deep

Such grace never met the eye

A whole world in peaceful sleep

Under a star covered sky
