It's not how fast you can go  The force goes into the flow  If you pick up the beat  You can forget about the heat  More than just survival  More than just a flash  More than just a dotted line  More than just a dash    It's a test of ultimate will  The heartbreak climb uphill  Got to pick up the pace  If you want to stay in the race  More than just blind ambition  More than just simple greed  More than just a finish line  Must feed this burning need   In the long run...    [Chorus:]  From first to last  The peak is never passed  Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes  One moment's high, and glory rolls on by  Like a streak of lightning  That flashes and fades in the summer sky    Your meters may overload  You can rest at the side of the road  You can miss a stride  But nobody gets a free ride    More than high performance  More than just a spark  More than just the bottom line  Or a lucky shot in the dark  In the long run...    [Chorus]    You can do a lot in a lifetime  If you don't burn out too fast  You can make the most of the distance  First you need endurance  First you've got to last...    [Chorus]
