Run, on and on
But do you want the glory that goes?
Turn to look at who's on your heels
You're over halfway there but the miles
You run, never stop
I've got to keep going, be strong
I've got to keep running the course
Determination makes
The mind is getting clearer
And goes on getting louder
You reach the final stretch
Way ahead of the field
Ideals are just a trace
With every step you tread
And goes on even more till the sound
It's all so futile
Gotta win, gotta run till you drop
Run, on and on
Your heart's beating loud
Run, on and on
I've got to keep running and win at all costs
Is ringing in your head
Run, on and on
And every breath you take
They never seem to end
Run, on and on
It seems so futile
And the rain that's beating down on your back
You feel like throwing the race
The loneliness of the long distance runner
As if you're in a dream
Run, on and on
The line is getting nearer
Must be so determined and push myself on
Not getting anywhere
The loneliness of the long distance runner
Keep the pace, hold the race
Run over stiles, across fields
