Running down an endless road
The path is hard
But I know I’ll make it
‘cause you’re there waiting
Arms extended wide

And when I finish this race of mine
I’ll look back
And know it’s worthwile
‘cause you’re there waiting
Arms extended wide

I can see you in the far-off distance
Your eyes alight
And I’ll just keep on going
‘cause you’re there waiting
Arms extended wide

Whenever it seems like everything's going to the pits, there's always that one thing that keeps me going, I've tried to emobdy that here.
