It's been a mile
Since there were those slower than I
It's been a mile
Since I could move quick
It's been a mile
Since I had planned to win this entire race
It's been a mile
Since I was not sick
But every step that I am making
Will bring me to the finish line
Although it seems my body's breaking
In two hours I will be fine
It's been a mile
Since I could say I wasn't exhausted
And
It's been a mile
Since I had enough breath in me to speak
It's been a mile
Since my entire body was
Not unbearably sore
I have run a while
But the fact is that I have got to run one mile more
But every step that I am making
Will bring me to the finish line
Although it seems my body's breaking
In two hours I will be fine
Why'd I choose the 5k
I just cannot say
I guess I enjoy pain
It's been a mile
Since I could say that I felt great
And it's been a mile since I had no worries
And it's been a mile since I was close to the runner in the lead
And it's been a mile but I will still hope for a second wind of speed
But every step that I am making
Will bring me to the finish line but I'll
Take a long while
I cannot blame that on my trainer
He only helped my running style
It's been a mile
Since I could think I would not die
And there's one more mile, I think I should hurry
