Track suit, lace my running shoes,

Gotta get myself together.

Get my muscles on the move,

And go to brave the weather.

I've seen my dreams put down, but I'm aiming for that gold.

One shot at the big time before I find myself too old.

 

    I’m a runner  I’m a runner  I’m a runner      I’m a runner

 

Cold wind biting at my face,

Gotta find the strength from somewhere,

Push my body all the way,

When the time comes I'll be there.

Still got a lot to do, but I'm trying to make the grade,

Five thousand's a long way, you make a killing or you fade.

 

  I’m a runner    ………………………………………

 

I put my body and mind on the rack

I'm burning up at the end of the track

It's getting harder as years go by,

But I'm a failure if I don't try.

 

Ask me why I carry on,

I'll give you one good reason.

I just know I was born to run,

I come alive with every track season.

Fat cat with your famous brand,

stay the course and sponsor me

You'll see your money back with a gold medal guarantee.

 

         I’m a runner ............................................................

 

 

Rain's falling, feel I'm gonna drown

Wind's blowing, trying to cut me down

I know it finished more than an hour ago

And even though my body don't wanna know

I gotta push myself I just cannot give way

Don't wanna hear nobody

say he won't make it any way

 

Cos I'm a marathon man doin' what I can

I'm trying to get around in a good time

I'm a marathon man that's what I am

Nothing else could matter anymore

'til I make my time

 

I feel crazy, the heat could make me die

Chest's burning, enough to make me cry

There's still an hour or more 'til I reach the end

And round the bend a hill's still left to climb

I gotta drag my body on for five more miles

I'll take it easy for a while

then finish it in style

 

Chorus:   Cos I'm a marathon man ….........

All week in the office,

quick lunches and drinks at five

Come Saturday morning

my body wants to come alive

 

Chorus:     Cos I'm a marathon man..........

Dream on all you people of Ukraine

Dream on through these hard times

Believe that your struggle's not in vain

Good times will come again

Dream on

 

Dream of a time when you will see

There’s no more fighting no more refugees

Dream of your people living free

From all the heartache and despondency

Not on your knees but with your heads held high

You’ll have the feeling you can fly

 

Dream on all you people of Ukraine

Dream on for your children

These times are not easy to explain

Let their innocence remain

Dream on

 

Dream of a life in peace and love

There’s nothing you will face that you can’t rise above

Dream of your world in harmony

It’s not impossible to let it be

Pray to your own beliefs whatever they are

Good days will come they won’t be far.

 

Dream on all you people of  Ukraine

Dream on for a new dawn

Believe you can make it through the rain

And the sun will shine again

Dream on
