I was not born to sit back To watch the fire die I chose to run my life through Chasing dreams lost in the wind I'm not slowing down Forever on the run As long as I've got some breath You will see me chasing the wind Countless times I've fallen I've got scars on my face Still they don't hurt as much As the ones carved into my soul I'm not slowing down Forever on the run As long as I've got some breath You will see me chasing the wind I fear not death, I fear only apathy I just want my dreams to survive after me I'd hate to pass without leaving a trace That's why I'm into this unwinnable race So on that day when I'm dust on the ground Yet my time of resting will not have come Please gather my ashes and blow them in the wind I'll be on the run as long as the world spins I was not born to sit back To watch the fire die I chose to run my life through Chasing dreams lost in the wind I'm not slowing down Forever on the run As long as I've got some breath You will see me chasing the wind
