about

"It's about a high school track meet or it's about children running from military insurgents. Pick one."

Point of view; stressful events.

lyrics

Out in the middle distance,
runners set their marks
Clapping hands and cheering fans,
drop on the gunshot sparks.

Keep on track, keep on pace.
You don't have to win this race.
Just try not to fall,
If you don't get up quick enough
it won't matter at all.

Jumpers find their footing
and jump with open arms
Dig your hands into the sand
and save yourself from harm.

No you don't have to be good at making it
You just have to make it through.
It's not how well you do it.
It's what you do.

Sprinters lungs sharp and dry
Muscles tearing and minds sore
Collapsed in piles the broken child
Know what you're running from.
Know what you're running for.

Keep on track, keep on pace.
You don't have to win this race.
Just try not to fall,
If you don't get up quick enough
it won't matter at all.
