Geddy Lee - Marathon lyrics

[Verse] It's not how fast you can go The force goes into the flow If you pick up the beat You can forget about the heat More than just survival More than just a flash More than just a dotted line More than just a dash It's a test of ultimate will The heartbreak climb uphill Got to pick up the pace If you want to stay in the race More than just blind ambition More than just simple greed More than just a finish line Must feed this burning need In the long run [Chorus] From first to last The peak is never pa**ed Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes One moment's high, and glory rolls on by Like a streak of lightning That flashes and fades in the summer sky [Verse 2] Your meters may overload You can rest at the side of the road You can miss a stride But nobody gets a free ride More than high performance More than just a spark More than just the bottom line Or a lucky shot in the dark In the long run [Chorus] [Verse] You can do a lot in a lifetime If you don't burn out too fast You can make the most of the distance First you need endurance First you've got to last [Chorus][2x]
