Long Distance Runner

You are a long distance runner
You can feel the pain in your side
Yet you must run on
You are a long distance runner
Keep your face in the wind
And you'll soon be home

I can see the strain on your face
Keep your eye on the goal and you'll win the race

Up from the gun, you are no sprinter
The soles of your feet are on fire
Yet you must run on
You came to run, that's why you entered
So put one foot in front of another
Till your race is won

I can see the pain on your face
Keep your eye on the goal and you'll win the race

Na, na, na, na...

You are a long distance runner
When others are falling away
Your race begins
You are a long distance runner
The Spirit that strengthens your soul
Will ensure that you win

I can see the strain on your face
Keep your eyes on the goal and you'll win the race

You are a long distance runner
Yeah, you're a long distance runner
