From the recording Been to the Edge
All music and lyrics written by and created by Scott EG. Thank you to Thomas Smith and Joe Land for showing me how to crack the code on writing, recording, and producing the vision in my mind! Thank you Cheryl for being patient with me while this all played out. The Runner gives me an opportunity to explore the euphoria of running. Its part of many close friends, and has been a part of who i am. This one is for The Runner.
Lyrics
Before the sun
I run
I am the Runner
I am here in the silence the street is mine
Shadows fade with the first of light
While the world is still asleep
I find the fire Im meant to keep
Every breath a battle inside
Every step the doubt I defy
The silence speaks the horizon calls
I rise again I wont fall
Chasing down the sun I am the runner
Beating heart against the morning drum
The race is mine before the day's begun
I run
I am the Runner
Cold the sweat drips but the fire is warm
Each mile I face
The spirit is reborn
The empty streets
The pounding ground
This is the place where I am found
One more hill I climb I rise
the world behind the goal in my eyes
The night dissolves the day begins
Every twist every turn another finish line I win
Chasing down the sun I am the runner
Beating heart against the morning drum
The race is mine before the days begun
And I run
I am the Runner
One step
One step
One breath
One breath
One fight
One fight
One test
One test
And I find the fire Im meant to keep
Im Alive
I am the Runner
Chasing down the sun I am the runner
Beating heart against the morning drum
The race is mine before the days begun
And I run
I am the Runner
The race is mine
Chasing down the sun
I am alive
I am the runner
