I Know
I know the burn of running in the spring.
Hearts pounding, the constant pant for air.
Feet crashing against the ground, the swish through your hair
I know the burn of running in the spring.
The odors of sweat forming, slowly.
The fight to keep your nose form the dust.
"1 minute to go." "Turn it on!"
"Accelerate, yeah! Now you've set the pace!" "Relax your arms...!"
I know the burn of running in the spring!
This is for Those Who Question
"Why do you run?" they ask.
"What makes you so good?" they wonder.
"Can you make me a good runner?" they hope.
"Because!"
"I just am!"
"No! I can't!"
If your not one of us,
If you're not a runner you could never know!
When it comes to physical fitness or diet,
We don't have all the answers.
So don't ask!
When it comes to your form,
Or how you run your race,
We don't always care!
If you're not a runner we can't help!
If you're a beginner, I'm sorry!
We work hard for what we have,
Don't expect us to give away all the secrets.
You have to earn your own way,
When you learn dedication,
Then come ask us.
You see we've already been down that road,
We know it well,
But if you don't travel half of it yourself,
We can't help!
