The Runner

I'm going faster than I've been before
I know no limits now I'm flying
Heart is pounding and I'm more than sure
I can win this without trying
These explosions blow my mind
Blood, sweat and tears and now I'm running blind
I'm going for glory, I see my goal
My legs are like lead but I'm in control
I've been the distance, I see the line
One last push and I'll be fine
Unleash the fire, within my soul
Release the shackles so I can go for gold
In this arena I chase my dreams
Inside the shelter no one else can hear you scream
