Marathon
It’s not how fast you can goThe force goes into the flowIf you pick up the beatYou can forget about the heatMore than just survivalMore than just a flashMore than just a dotted lineMore than just a dash
It’s a test of ultimate willThe heartbreak climb uphillGot to pick up the paceIf you want to stay in the raceMore than just blind ambitionMore than just simple greedMore than just a finish lineMust feed this burning needIn the long run
Chorus:From first to lastThe peak is never passedSomething always fires the light that gets in your eyesOne moment’s high, and glory rolls on byLike a streak of lightningThat flashes and fades in the summer sky
Your meters may overloadYou can rest at the side of the roadYou can miss a strideBut nobody gets a free ride
More than high performanceMore than just a sparkMore than just the bottom lineOr a lucky shot in the darkIn the long run
Chorus
You can do a lot in a lifetimeIf you don’t burn out too fastYou can make the most of the distanceFirst you need enduranceFirst you’ve got to last…
