When you ran 'round the block And you thought you were going to die You said you'd never run again And then you had another try And you felt a little better 'Cause above all else You know that no-one made you do it You decided for yourself And it gave you time to think And a chance to unwind You thought by going out running You had wisely spent your time For whilst the only aim at work Was your take-home pay Running meant you'd done Something useful with your day And you found your weaknesses And tested your strengths And above all else You decided for yourself Is it alright like that?
