like i never felt before

training all this time

i'm at the starting line

a marathon i'm gonna have to run

in such a way as if to win the prize

and i believe

even though i can't see

all the athletes from days gone by

are in the stadium surrounding me

and in the days

before the final phase

i sacrificed the things that held me down

and concentratedly i fixed my gaze. a shot resounds

my heart begins to pound

and i begin to know what it's like

to run as if i had nobody around

and i feel like i never felt before

i ran through the open door

and i feel like i never felt before

and it seems you're aware of so much more

than i gave you credit for

and i feel like i never felt before

climbing high

i can almost touch the sky

but every time i'm halfway there

i think i'll never reach the top alive

but i'm aware

i'm safely in your care

and with your help i'll never face a day

that i am unable to bear

you taught me to crawl

you taught be to stand

you taught me run one step at a time

and watch out for the quicksand

you taught me to live

you taught me to die

you taught me to spread my wings and how to fly
