Somedays I feel like
I got nothing left
Like I'm running on empty
Down to my last breath
My feet are so heavy
Don't wanna carry the load
But then I think of You standing there
At the end of the road
I'm in this race, in this race
In this race to run
I'm in this race, in this race
In this race to run
When the miles come slowly
Put my heart to the test
And the wind comes blowing down
Against my chest
I'll lean into the burning
Press in to the strain
And I'll know it was worth it all
When I see Your face
I'm in this race, in this race
In this race to run
Every step I take
Is worth the pain
Just to hear You say well done
So I run (right into Your arms)
I run (right into Your arms)
I run (right into Your arms)
I run
So I run (right into Your arms)
I run (right into Your arms)
I run (right into Your arms)
I run
Straight on until the morning
I'm chasing down the sun
You'll be there waiting for me
Yeah, I was born to run
Straight on until the morning
I'm chasing down the sun
You'll be there waiting for me
I'm in this race, in this race
In this race to run
Every step I take
Is worth the pain
Just to hear You say well done
So I run (right into Your arms)
I run (right into Your arms)
I run (right into Your arms)
I run
So I run (straight on until the morning)
I run (I'm chasing down the sun)
I run (You'll be there waiting for me)
Yeah, I was born to run
