The Runner - Ian Thomas, Prague Philharmonic Orchestra

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)
