Lonely distance on the road Keep looking straight ahead Only know I need to go Where angels fear to tread Some people cross my path a while Sometimes I stand alone But in the end it's a one-way street And every choice is your own A race that everybody runs You're not the only one We all have to try to survive And dance with destiny and time I won't be left behind I've got to run In the marathon of life Easy losing track of time Temptations all around Don't take much for anyone To try and take you down You have to learn to walk away You have to know what's true If you should aim for something more Don't ever stop till you're through A race that everybody runs You're not the only one We all have to try to survive And dance with destiny and time I won't be left behind I've got to run In the marathon of life A race that everybody runs You're not the only one We all have to try to survive And dance with destiny and time I won't be left behind I've got to run In the marathon of life Marathon of life You've got to run You've got to run in the marathon of life You've got to run You've got to run in the marathon of life
