Running Life Away

Running Life Away



  We run around in this race
    This race we run around
      Around this race we run
        This rat race in our town

          We run uphill then run down
            Then we run circles around
               Around the town then back up
                 Covering every inch of ground

                 We run ourselves, we run our kids
                 We run every single chance we get
                 Running for this, running for that
                 So much running but we're still unfit

                 We run errands, we run to the store
                   We run our mouths even more
                     Across sand beaches to distant shores
                       Sometimes on two feet, others on all fours

                         Why is it that we run so much
                           Why is the world in such a hurry
                             Why can't we just relax a bit
                               Why is it we all have to worry

                                  Life is good...
                                      Everything will be just fine...
