Lyrics
I’ve been lost for hours in the fog on the top of this mountain I’ve been running for days and the haze is mounting It’s a race against time and the climb is so unrelenting And the briars, the briars they claw at my every intending But I’m powerful I have it in me I have the will I need to succeed Though I am worn I am not done With this race that eats its young When the bugle sound through the night I’ll still be running With heavy eyes reprieve deprived my legs still spinning I’m seeing things, wait now they’re gone what’s my bearing It’s a brawl my body aches but my mind is winning But I’m powerful I have it in me I have the will I need to succeed Though I am worn I am not done With this race that eats its young Climbing, crawling, fighting, clawing Climbing, crawling, fighting, clawing Though I am worn I am not done..... But I’m powerful I have it in me I have the will I need to succeed Though I am worn I am not done Though I am worn I am not done Though I am worn I am not done With this race that eats its young With this race that eats its young With this race that eats its young
