Lyrics

Marathon

Life is this marathon
I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet
But faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

Life is this marathon
I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet
But faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

Since I were a little girl
My eyes were fixed on you
I knew that one day we'd meet
That you could set me free
Sure diamond ring, pretty things
A piece of mind, could be all mine
O this growing love affair
Has kept me on my feet

Life is this marathon
I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet
But faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

Life is this marathon
I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet
But faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

Yesterday I had a glimpse of you
You looked me in my face
And just the other day you brushed right by me
I felt you reeling in my space
Tell me, do you think of me
Can you see me from the start
I swear I said I'd wait for you
But fate might change the score

Life is this marathon
I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet
But faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

Life is this marathon
I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet
But faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

Oooo Oooh...
