When you ran 'round the block

And you thought you were going to die

You said you'd never run again

And then you had another try

And you felt a little better

'Cause above all else

You know that no-one made you do it

You decided for yourself

And it gave you time to think

And a chance to unwind

You thought by going out running

You had wisely spent your time

For whilst the only aim at work

Was your take-home pay

Running meant you'd done

Something useful with your day

And you found your weaknesses

And tested your strengths

And above all else

You decided for yourself

Is it alright like that?
