Текст песни: The Running + перевод

I remember the lights

They take my old mind back to a younger game

And the drive for a chance at a name

It came low and inside, I stepped out of the way

And then there was wildness

Heaving right for the middle as the bat came down

Like the sound of the roar of a crowd

I was calling for the wall, but the sound died out

When you’re close to glory, you give it all to chase it

All I know is that I almost made it

Oh I was running, I was in the running

Oh I was running, I was in the running for the best

I remember the sea

The arctic breeze of a heart set in stone

And burning for the edge of the world

For a wild cut of heaven to call my own

And then there was silence

But for the wailing of the wind as the sun went down

And the cold closing all around

I was holding on to hope as the hope ran out

When you’re close to glory, you give it all to chase it

All I know is that I almost made it

Oh I was running, I was in the running

Oh I was running, I was in the running for the best

I’ve been running all my life from the fear in my bones

Of being nothing but a cold, timid soul

I wanna know now, brother, before I go to rest

I remember the pain

My whole life training in the docks on the east coastline

And the glow of the fear in her eyes

Begging the Lord that I’d make it one last fight

And then there was violence

Oh the cheering and the blood as the gloves came down

At the nod of the man in the crowd

I was reaching for the ropes as the bell rang out

So close to glory, I’d give it all to taste it

All I know is that I almost made it

Oh I was running, I was in the running

Oh I was running, I was in the running

I may amount to nothing, but once I was something, oh

I was in the running for the best
