Running sets my soul on fire
In a quiet way as I perspire
Setting my mind into chemical balance
As I glide effortlessly with the perfect sky
And the imperfect world
Infinity overhead it all drifts away
And I know, today is a good day
Every mile covered is a smile recovered
Every stride I make is a chance I take
And I pay no mind as the cruel and horrible sea
Rages on, my stride long, my mind strong
Without it I’m lost, adrift and restless
And when I run I always stress less
Sore legs, bad weather, drowsy
Power on feeling free
Dopamine my reward, fitness my flame
I power on through all the pain
Of freedom lost, the ultimate cost of the mind I lost
And back in the day I was lost in nature
As I hit my peak and watched the city lights
The only good thing in my life
Punk tunes in as it hits the crescendo
I’d put on a sprint and ride the tempo
Now I run in a cage as I count down the days
Til that perfect path, song, sneaker and view
All I can say, when I reach the pearly gates
I’ll be jogging through
I wish I could run like this.
