Like I Never Felt Before

(Been) training all this time
I'm at the starting line
A marathon I'm gonna have to run
In such a way as if to win the prize
And I believe
Even though I can't see
All the athletes from days gone by
Are in the stadium surrounding me
And in the days
Before the final phase
I sacrificed the things that held me down
And concentratedly I fixed my gaze.
A shot resounds
My heart begins to pound
And I begin to know what it's like
To run as if I had nobody around
And I feel like I never felt before
I ran through the open door
And I feel like I never felt before
And it seems you're aware of so much more
Than I gave you credit for
And I feel like I never felt before

Climbing high
I can almost touch the sky
But every time I'm halfway there
I think I'll never reach the top alive
But I'm aware
I'm safely in your care
And with your help I'll never face a day
That I am unable to bear
You taught me to crawl/ you taught be to stand
You taught me run one step at a time/and watch out for the quicksand
You taught me to live/ you taught me to die
You taught me to spread my wings and how to fly
