A runner I've always been
?Closer than my next of kin
?It's kept me in a natural way
?When things went wrong along life's way
??When I run my mind is free?
My troubles seem to escape from me?
The sky is bluer the sun is brighter?
The birds are louder ?life is better
??Do you like to run and feel so free?
Lase'em up and you will see
How on the level you can be?
The pace is faster now? as I round a bend
This exhilaration is mine to spend
?The dynamics of life get simpler now?
It's a real way you will see?
When the runners are laced to me
??My mind is free from trouble
Away they go as I move a long
The air expels them like a song
?My lungs are real as real can be
?For at this moment they are what sustain me
??A soldiers gun a pirate's sabre?
These running shoes they are my saviour
?For with them I traverse the miles
?Sorting things out and leaving the piles
