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?
