Lyrics

Running

One hundred days, two thousand miles

To you I'd run through day and night

We've got to finish what we started

We've got a lot to rescue darling

My shirt is torn, these shoes are worn

My blood's been drawn but still I'm strong

I feel like I'm a force of nature

I guess that makes you my creator

Tryin'a stop a river when it wants to rise

Tryin'a stop a blaze of a burning fire

I'm a hurricane that ain't stopping, no no-no, oh

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming back for more, oh-oh

Keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming back for more, no

I've got to tell you now - I've crossed the world

I've crossed through time

And giving up never crossed my mind

I feel like I'm a force of nature

I guess that makes you my creator

Tryin'a stop a river when it wants to rise

Tryin'a stop a blaze of a burning fire

I'm a hurricane that ain't stopping, no no-no, oh

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming back for more, oh-oh

Keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming back for more, no-no, oh

Baby, I keep

Tryin'a stop a river when it wants to rise

Tryin'a stop a blaze of a burning fire

I'm a hurricane that ain't stopping, no no-no, oh, oh

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming

No-no, oh

Keep running

And I keep, keep running (And I keep)

And I keep, keep coming

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming

Back for more, oh no, I keep

Keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep coming back for more

No, oh-oh, oh-oh
