"SECOND WIND"

Intro
Do you ever feel like throwing
Your head back to stop & scream,
"Stop this world, I think I'll get off now!"
And wake up from this dream!

Verse 1
Running 'round in circles,
Running out of steam,
Running into trouble,
Running down your dreams.

You keep running into brick walls
As you run for all you're worth,
Run 'til until your last breath runs out
Of living on this Earth.

Always running out of patience,
Running late on your agenda,
Way too late to help a stranger
In his hut or hacienda.

Yeah!

Chorus 1
Different space, different place, there's a race you can actually win,
Where for the first time, at the same time, I ran & I grinned.
A life's supply of true adrenaline!
And from what I reckon, you could use a second wind!
From what I reckon, you could use a second wind!

Verse 2
Now you're running without resting,
Running without reason,
'Cause when you're in the Rat Race,
Well, it's always running season.

You run that dreaded gauntlet,
And you swelter in the sun;
Running low, running on empty,
But still say, "I've gotta run!"

You run red lights & stop signs,
Can't look before you leap.
You run all of your waking hours,
Then keep running in your sleep.

Chorus 2
Different space, different place, there's a race you can actually win,
Where for the first time, at the same time, I ran & I grinned. Yes, I did!
A life's supply of true adrenaline!
And from what I reckon, you could use a second wind!
From what I reckon, you could use a second wind!

Verse 3
It's like you're running on a treadmill,
Not getting anywhere,
Just running yourself all ragged,
Fists beating in the air.

But just stop & look to Heaven,
Only Jesus comprehends
This life & how to live it
Right up to a Happy End.
In a …

Chorus 3
Different space, different place, there's a race you can actually win,
Where for the first time, at the same time, I ran & I grinned. Oh, I grinned!
A life's supply of true adrenaline!
And from what I reckon, you could use a second wind!
From what I reckon, you could use a second wind!
From what I reckon, you could use a second wind!
