In my life I have but one obsession 
It consumes my thought both night and day 
It shows in everything I've done 
The will to be a number one 
That's just how I pray 
I've gotta run.. 

Faster than the lead 
Just can't stop, can't go slow 
I've gotta drive beyond full speed 
Just can't stop still I know 
No matter what you desire, how much you pursue 
Well, it all comes to you 

Mama says I gotta learn a lesson 
From those who crash and burn and fade away 
She tells me there's a higher hand 
Presiding on a master plan 
So what's in store who can say? 
So I try to run 

[R] 

Possibility are infinite 
I'm not the kind to wait 
Maybe all the things you really need 
To choose 
What my Mama said 
But I've gotta run..
