Ian Thomas The Runner Lyrics

The Runner Lyrics

Through the night, through the dawn

Behind you, another runner is born

Don't look back, you've been there

Feel the mist as your breath hits
the air

And it's underneath the moonlight

Passing some

Still
your heart beats in the moonlight

Like a drum



And you will
run your time

A shooting star across the sky

And you will surely
cross the line

To pass on the flame



Sun come up, sun go
down

Hear the feet, see the sweat on the ground

Watch your step,
keep your cool

Though you can't see what's in front of you

And it's
underneath the moonlight

Passing some

Still your heart beats in the
moonlight

Like a drum



And you will run your time

A
shooting star across the sky

And you will surely cross the line

To
pass on the flame



Cause you're a runner in a race

Taking
someone's place who's run

You're a runner in a race

And the only
way it's won

Is to pass on the flame



And you will run your
time

A shooting star across the sky

And you will surely cross the
line

To pass on the flame

(Pass on the flame)

To pass on the
flame

(Pass on the flame)
