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
