Run For My Life
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.
Something's got me working day and night
Something tells me winning won't be easy
This time
I gotta fight
Beauty's always been a friend to me
But I know she won't stay forever
But that's alright
Keeping my heart above water
Starting to feel that I'm stronger
Chorus:
I gotta run for my life
It's a marathon for my life
Take a chance, forget the competition
Dancin' till I drop
It goes on and on. I can't stop
It's a marathon to the top
Nothing comes from waiting and a wishing
So I keep running
Running for my life
My lover gives me hope when he is near
But only I can make the future
Better
Facing my fears
Moving fast so I can't be shot down
They'll never hit a dancing target
Now I can see it clear
Keeping my heart above water
Starting to feel that I'm stronger
Repeat Chorus
I got my eye on the track
I got my hands in the dirt
I know there's no turning back
I'm gonna push 'til it hurts
I know that my desire
Will take me to the wire
It's not a game I'm playing
I am here to WIN
Repeat Chorus
Running for my life
I got my eye on the track
I know there's no turning back
I'm gonna push push 'til it hurts
I'm gonna push push 'til it hurts
