(been) training all this time
i’m at the starting line
a marathon i’m gonna have to run
in such a way as if to win the prize
and i believe
even though i can’t see
all the athletes from days gone by
are in the stadium surrounding me
and in the days
before the final phase
i sacrificed the things that held me down
and concentratedly i fixed my gaze.
a shot resounds
my heart begins to pound
and i begin to know what it’s like
to run as if i had n-body around
and i feel like i never felt before
i ran through the open door
and i feel like i never felt before
and it seems you’re aware of so much more
than i gave you credit for
and i feel like i never felt before

climbing high
i can almost touch the sky
but every time i’m halfway there
i think i’ll never reach the top alive
but i’m aware
i’m safely in your care
and with your help i’ll never face a day
that i am unable to bear
you taught me to crawl
you taught be to stand
you taught me run one step at a time
and watch out for the quicksand
you taught me to live
you taught me to die
you taught me to spread my wings and how to fly
