The Runner

Through the night, through the dawn|Behind you, another runner is born|Don't look back, you've been there|Feel the mist as your breath hits the air|And it's underneath the moonlight|Passing some|Still your heart beats in the moonlight|Like a drum|And you will run your time|A shooting star across the sky|And you will surely cross the line|To pass on the flame|Sun come up, sun go down|Hear the feet, see the sweat on the ground|Watch your step, keep your cool|Though you can't see what's in front of you|And it's underneath the moonlight|Passing some|Still your heart beats in the moonlight|Like a drum|And you will run your time|A shooting star across the sky|And you will surely cross the line|To pass on the flame|Cause you're a runner in a race|Taking someone's place who's run|You're a runner in a race|And the only way it's won|Is to pass on the flame|And you will run your time|A shooting star across the sky|And you will surely cross the line|To pass on the flame|(Pass on the flame)|To pass on the flame|(Pass on the flame) |
