I wanna go the distance Life is like a race, a marathon Can't afford to miss it I've gotta make the most with this time I've got I don't wanna be lukewarm Light a fire in my soul 'Til I run the streets of gold I wanna get to heaven out of breath Don't wanna waste no time When I cross the finish line Oh, Lord, I wanna hear You say "Well done, my child and my friend," When I get to heaven out of breath A million miles a minute Life is like a vapor and we're short on time With every breath I'm given I'll shout it from the mountain tops I'll burn so bright I don't wanna be lukewarm So, light a fire in my soul 'Til I run the streets of gold I wanna get to heaven out of breath Don't wanna waste no time When I cross the finish line Oh, Lord, I wanna hear You say "Well done, my child and my friend," When I get to heaven out of breath Out of breath Heaven out of breath Oh, out of breath Like a steam rolling train I'll be on my way On my way 'til the wheels fall off 'Til I see Your face Walk through heaven's gates I will run, I will run, I will run I wanna get to heaven out of breath Don't wanna waste no time When I cross the finish line Oh, Lord, I wanna hear You say "Well done, my child and my friend," When I get to heaven out of breath Out of breath To heaven out of breath "Well done, my child and my friend," When I get to heaven out of breath
