Rush - Marathon lyrics

Album: 1981-87 Retrospective II (1997)

It isn´t 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 is a test of ultimate will
The heartbreak climb uphill
Got to pick up the pace
If you wanna stay in the race

More than just blind ambition
More than just simple greed
More than just a finish line
Must feed this burning need -

In the long run...

From 1st to last
The peak is never passed
Smth always fires the light
That gets in your eyes
One moment´s high
And glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightening
That flashes & 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...

You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you do not burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
1st you need endurance -
1st you have got to last...
