Runner
by Mannfred Mann

Through the nightthrough the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
See 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

Through the nightthrough 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 upsun go down
Hear the beat, 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, pass on the flame

Through the nightthrough 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

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
