Run, Human

Run! For all the time in the world is not enough,
And the tough gets going when the going gets tough,
Life is ugly but that's the beauty of it
So if you do not run with it, run from it. 

Run! And be in pursuit of your dreams
But the future is not all that it seems,
Accept your fate for you have the best to give
And if you don't, you may die before you live. 

Run! From venom when you know the value of love,
And put your trust only in the One above,
Run! And you may never run out of luck, 
When you hope for the wool, prepare for the rock!

Run! You may run through hell to reach heaven 
For life is a race for the odd and even;

Run! For the burden you bear is heavy as lead 
The burden of which has left so many dead;

Run! Towards the path between 
All even and good that have ever been;

Run, 
Human, 
Run!
