Go the Distance
Move, my soul
Move on, move free
Negativity get behind, ^u're bothering me
I've got dreams to dream and places to go
I'm not gonna stop I've too far to go
Forget the past that's holding me back
Strangling me as a matter of fact
Look towards the future
Look forward, find strength
I have got to endure life's impossible lengths
Move on and on my weary feet
Its not over yet I have obstacles to defeat
Life throws these curve balls for us to break
But all they do is jolt me awake
Awake to push bad moments behind me
Awake to set my troubled mind free
Awake to beat anger to it's knees
Awake to live my life set out for me
Awake to see evil brought down and seized
Awake to find goodness in every person, rock, and tree
I was told today I wouldn't make it that I couldn t go the distance
But just like in football I called for the defense
Go the distance faith, they said you couldn t take it
Go the distance love, they said you wouldnt make it
Go the distance peace, you're ready to journey
Go the distance truth, there is no need to worry
Go the distance responsibility, find strength in your work
Go the distance courage, dust off all the dirt
Carry on through the storm
There's much to do
Don't stand back and watch
Feet heavy with glue
Give it your all, one chance today
You can't afford to walk away
And then cry with glory, honor, and enchantment
Shout the battle cry full of thunderous armament:
“I've gone the distance and I am still on my feet,
gone the
distance and I
will not be beat.
Carry on, my soul, move on move free. I have gone the
distance and I am
still
standing!”
I have
