(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 nobody 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
