Title: Marathon

Sync: (c)1985 by MadMaxx---NYC---

It's not how fast you can go,

The force goes into the flow.

If you pick up the beat,

You can forget about the heat.

More than just survival,

More than just a flash,

More than just a dotted line,

More than just a dash!

It's a test of ultimate will,

The heartbreak climb uphill.

Got to pick up the pace,

If you want to stay in the race.

More than blind ambition,

More than simple greed,

More than a finish line,

Must feed this burning need.

In the long run...

From first to last...

The peak is never passed,

Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.

One moment's high, and glory rolls on by,

Like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades,

In the summer sky.

Your meters may overload,

You can rest at the side of the road.

You can miss a stride,

But nobody gets a free ride.

More than high performance,

More than just a spark,

More than just the bottom line,

Or a lucky shot in the dark.

In the long run...

From first to last...

The peak is never passed,

Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.

One moment's high, and glory rolls on by,

Like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades,

In the summer sky!

---(Instrumental & Solo)---

You can do a lot in a lifetime,

If you don't burn out too fast...

You can make the most of the distance,

First you need endurance...

First you've got to last!

From first to last...

The peak is never passed,

Something always fires that light that gets in your eyes.

One moment's high, and glory rolls on by,

Like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades,

In the summer sky!

From first to last...

The peak is never passed,

Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.

One moment's high, and glory rolls on by,

Like a streak of lightning that flashes and fades,

In the summer sky!
