lyrics

The Runner
(Spain)

Catch your breath before you get tired
Can you even remember why you left?
Take a rest, save up your energy
For all those things you’ve yet to encounter

And you know you gotta run
And you know you gotta run

Take a look around at what surrounds you
How can you run so far without looking back?
Wipe the sweat from your eyes
You might get blinded
Don’t stare right at the sun
You’ve been reminded

And you know you gotta run
And you know you gotta run
And you know, you know, you know, you know

Lying on the ground, your ankles are broken
Bloody knees and hands skint on the road
You are all alone, except for the angels
And they got mighty wings to carry you home

And you know you gotta run
And you know you gotta run
And you know, you know, you know, you know
