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
