Lyrics:
It's been a long time running\\n'Cause I had some things to see\\nI had to meet some people\\nWho were there to believe in me\\n\nI'm taking all that struggle\\nReminds me what I'm fighting for\\nI'm living it up, I ain't gonna stop\\nTill I make that final score\\n\nAnd I'll keep running as fast as I can\\nI'll keep running\\nI won't stop, I won't stop, no no\\n\nHey now, if you push me down I'll get up again\\nHey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion\\nI'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time\\nBut I don't care 'cause I'm running on air\\n(Running, running) Yeah\\n\nGive me a million reasons\\nBut my answer stays the same\\nYou can try to put me in a box\\nBut I'm doing it my own damn way\\n\nSee I can stand them talkers\\nAll pretending that their lives' a mess\\n'Cause whatever you want, whatever you need\\nYou gotta get off your…\\n\nAnd I'll keep running as fast as I can\\nI'll keep running\\nI won't stop, I won't stop\\n\nHey now, if you push me down I'll get up again\\nHey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion\\nI'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time\\nBut I don't care 'cause I'm running on air\\n\nHey, I'm running on air\\nRunning, running on air\\n(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Running, running\\nNow I don't care\\n\nHey now, if you push me down I'll get up again\\nHey now, hey now\\n\nYeah… (Oh whoa… oh whoa…)\\nYou can push me, push me down\\n(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Hey now\\nBut I'll get up again\\n\nI'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time\\nBut I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
