Secretariat

[Verse 1]

My mother, she taught me

She taught me how to pray (She taught me how to pray)

Ask Him to lift the pain inside

Don't beg to undo fate

Don't rebuke the weak and

The meanest of this world

Ask Him to make you ready

Mama's big strong girl

[Verse 2]

He turned me to something new

That I don't recognize

Here I am, go on and please

More conquerer than wild

All I do is run out

Of the manless machine

In my chest, a monster's heart

Why God designed a beast

[Chorus]

I've got to run now, but I am not afraid

I was born to do this, this is how I'm made

All the lights are bright now, but someday this all ends

I'll keep on running, but I can't go home again

[Post-Chorus]

And I run and I run and I run and I run

And I run and I run and I run and I run

And I run and I run and I run and I run

And I run and I run and I run and I run

[Refrain]

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running (Oh, I'm running)

I gotta run (I gotta run)

[Bridge]

Hey, ah

Running now, running now, running now

Running now, running now, running now

Keep on running

Keep on running, yeah

Yeah, yeah

[Outro]

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running

Oh, I'm running (Oh, I'm running)

I gotta run
