[Verse 1]
Life begins with a whistle blow,
You’re on the track but you don’t know.
Some run to win, some run from pain,
Some chase the sun, some hide from rain.
The crowd is loud inside your mind,
Whispers from the ghosts you left behind.
Every breath’s a battle cry,
But you're still here, still asking why.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter how far,
No matter how fast,
The road will find you,
You can’t run from the past.
---
[Chorus]
They call it a game, but it feels like a war,
Running for something, but what is it for?
If I lose my way, if I fall, I’ll rise—
I won’t give up, I’ve opened my eyes.
You can’t break me,
You can’t shame me,
I’m not a coward—I’m fire in the rain!
I’ll be the last one standing in this
RUNNING GAME!
---
[Verse 2]
Some wear fear like second skin,
Some don’t know where to begin.
Chained by truth, or laced in lies,
They run to live, or to survive.
But here I stand, the line is drawn,
A heart that breaks but still holds on.
I’ll face the storm, I’ll face the flame,
I’ve learned the rules, now I play the game.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter the cost,
No matter the pain,
You’re not alone—
We all run through the same rain.
---
[Chorus]
They call it a game, but it feels like a war,
Running for something, but what is it for?
If I lose my way, if I fall, I’ll rise—
I won’t give up, I’ve opened my eyes.
You can’t break me,
You can’t shame me,
I’m not a coward—I’m fire in the rain!
I’ll be the last one standing in this
RUNNING GAME!
[Bridge] (spoken/soft)
Those who run and still keep trying...
Are braver than those who keep denying.
And those who give up, not out of fear—
But because they know peace...
They're the winners here.
---
[Final Chorus]
They call it a game, but we write our name,
In every scar, in every flame.
If you choose to stop, to finally breathe—
Then you’ve won more than they believe.
You’re not broken,
You’re not lame,
You just broke the rules
Of their RUNNING GAME!
