It's not how fast you can go

The force goes into the flow

If you pick up the beat

You can forget about the heat



More than just survival

More than just a flash

More than just a dotted line

More than just a dash



It's a test of ultimate will

The heartbreak climb uphill

Got to pick up the pace

If you want to stay in the race



More than just blind ambition

More than just simple greed

More than just a finish line

Must feed this burning need -



In the long run...



From first to last

The peak is never passed

Something always fires the light

That gets in your eyes

One moment's high

And glory rolls on by

Like a streak of lightening

That flashes and fades

In the summer sky



Your meters may overload

You can rest at the side of the road

You can miss a stride

But nobody gets a free ride



More than high performance

More than just a spark

More than just the bottom line

Or a lucky shot in the dark -



In the long run...



You can do a lot in a lifetime

If you don't burn out too fast

You can make the most of the distance

First you need endurance -

First you've got to last
