steppin' out into the light, my whole life's led me to this moment
i'll lay it all out on the line, time to shine, time to rock & roll i'm
feelin' a million butterflies oh but i've never been so ready
watch me when i hit my stride, speed of light, yeah i'm strong & steady
i love to run
there's a feelin' that drives me
a fire down inside me that burns like the sun
and fly, i gotta fly
'cause for me it's like breathin'
my reason for bein'
when i'm most alive
i love to run
if you see me start to fade, if the day seems to have my number
ain't no need to be afraid, i'll escape from the cloud i'm under
'cause i ain't in it for the fame, for the pay or the so-called glory
i'm just livin' how i'm made, that's what they'll say
when they tell my story
i love to run
there's a feelin' that drives me
a fire down inside me that burns like the sun
and fly, i gotta fly
'cause for me it's like breathin'
my reason for bein'
when i'm most alive
i won't settle for good enough
i reach and i rise above
heart & soul i'm all in
i'm challengin' gravity
ridin' on angels wings
out here i'm one with the wind
i love to run
there's a feelin' that drives me
a fire down inside me that burns like the sun
and fly, i gotta fly
'cause for me it's like breathin'
my reason for bein'
when i'm most alive
i love to run
