[Verse 1] It's a one way street, with an open end And you never know, what lies ahead But I always knew, that this was it The signs were lit, oh I always knew [Chorus] I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes [Verse 2] I'm an overdrive, go to play offense And I won't look back, there be no regrets I keep my head up, even if I'm fed up Cause I'm getting closer, oh I know, oh I know [Chorus] I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes [Post-Chorus] I'll be ready when the morning comes Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes [Bridge] It's a one way street, with an open end And you never know, what lies ahead But I always knew, that this was it The signs were lit, oh I always knew [Chorus] I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running Only way that for the marching drums, I'll be ready when the morning comes
