Friday Song Lyrics with Mumford & Sons

S
Since it's the Friday before a long weekend I figured I would try something new. Instead of the haikus I usually do on Fridays, I've selected a song and replaced its lyrics with running related ones. My apologies to Mumford & Sons but today's selection is "I Will Wait" which I have unfortunately cleverly rewritten as "I Will Run."

Without further ado, here it is:



I Will Run 

The gun went off,
Right on time,
And I hoped to start my race,
This tight corral,
These legs of mine,
Won’t cross the line for minutes more,
 
But I don’t care,
Gonna run
And I don’t care,
Hang in there,
 
And I will run, I will run this race
And I will run, I will run this race
 
Find my stride,
Moving now
Well, now I’ve slowed, with a cramp,
This really sucks
And I feel spent
This side pain just won’t relent
 
But I will run, I will run this race
And I will hold, I will hold this pace
And I will run, I will run this race
And I will hold, I will hold this pace
 
The second half,
Seems too long,
It hearts my feet and heavy heart,
So focus in,
And squint my eyes,
Tell myself, try not to die
 
But I don’t care,
Gonna run
And I don’t care,
Hang in there
 
Look ahead
Finish isn’t far
Ignore the clock
Give all that’s left
 
‘Cuz I will run, I will run this race
And I will hold, I will hold this pace
And I will run, I will run this race
And I will hold, I will hold this pace
