Will you get out of my way, my dear?
I'm running faster than I ever have
I'm used to stopping for everyone
I'm gonna go to the mountain top
I'll tell you if I see your name
carved in the stone that bears the saying
Life is only a ride
Just take it in stride
I'm on the run
I get lost in an open field
You flag me down and let me in
then ask me for my fingerprint
Beautiful and twenty-five
you want to keep me in the house
I look around to figure out
You are my mother of ancient time
look me in the eyes, remember
when you taught me how to fly
Life is only a ride
Just take it in stride
I'm on the run
Hold my hand while you try to steer
Hold your head when I disappear
Reaching the point of no return
I stop for one last look
at where I came from then I turn away
Now the fog is a dark raw dream
Take me where I've never been
with the chance to start again
Life is only a ride
Just take it in stride
I'm on the run
Hold my hand while you try to steer
Hold your head when I disappear
Life is only a ride
Just take it in stride
I'm on the run
Life is only a ride
Just take it in stride
I'm on the run
