Dedicated to the Revolutions* :

Fall on the ground, dirt on your face,

Keep running, boy, keep running,

Limbs are burning, it’s all part of the chase,

Keep breathing, boy, keep breathing,

Legs are screaming, scrapes on your skin,

Keep going, boy, keep going,

Can’t see the finish line but you’ve gotta win,

Keep sprinting, boy, keep sprinting,

Dirt in your toes, cuts on your feet,

Keep racing, boy, keep racing,

Fall down again, don’t you dare take defeat,

Keep pushing, boy, keep pushing,

Step after step, don’t play their game,

Keep striving, boy, keep striving,

Change of mindset, but you feel the same,

Keep thinking, boy, keep thinking,

Audience watching, some want you to fail,

Keep winning, boy, keep winning,

You’re cut and bruised but you prevail,

Keep hoping, boy, keep hoping,

Finish the race, you’re almost free,

Keep dreaming, boy, keep dreaming,

You’re not a slave, you’ve gotta flee,

Keep chasing, boy, keep chasing,

Limbs still burning, the fire’s alive,

Keep burning, boy, keep burning,

The fire’s spreading, make sure it survives,

Keep living, boy, keep living,

Contagious will, there’s more on your side,

Keep flying, boy, keep flying,

No one’s mocking can injure your pride,

Keep fighting, boy, keep fighting,

Fall on the ground, better get up fast,

Keep climbing, boy, keep climbing,

Those scars will not be your last,

Keep running, boy, keep running,

Fall down seven times, get up eight,

Keep rising, boy, keep rising,

Freedom was always part of your fate,

Keep daring, boy, keep daring,

Finish line’s past, race is won,

Keep dreaming, boy, keep dreaming,

But another race has just begun,

Freedom has no finish line, boy, keep running.
