“Speed Is My Life” Lyrics
Full lives, to the brim with adventure
Sweet times we will always remember
And no endline is in sight
So I’ll run ’til the end of time!
These shoes blaze the roads of tomorrow
Into every journey to follow
Where rivals become friends
Together, they take a stand!
And though the seasons go by so fast
Looks like our friendship was built to last!
If there is one thing I know is true,
It’s endless discoveries await us, and I just can’t stand by
Speed is my life!
Hey, let’s run away,
Faster than the speed of sound
I’ll show you the way,
There’s no time for waiting around!
Run, run far away,
Under skies of radiance
Down valleys and plains,
Speedin’ ’til we break the barriers!
There’ll be times when it all seems hopeless
Take my hand, always there for you to hold
Just like a ring of gold!
Where will the wind take us? I wonder!
To far-off dimensions and further
And I just can’t get enough, no!
We run forever, we chase the rush!
And though our glories may come and go
These are the stories that will be told!
If there is one thing I know is true,
It’s endless discoveries await us, and I just can’t stand by
Speed is my life!
Hey, let’s run away,
Faster than the speed of sound
I’ll show you the way,
There’s no time for waiting around!
Run, run far away,
Under skies of radiance
Down valleys and plains,
Speedin’ ’til we break the barriers!
You have been right here
Next to me since the very first day
And now, we search together for the next story to tell!
Hey, let’s run away,
Faster than the speed of sound
I’ll show you the way,
There’s no time for waiting around!
Run, run far away,
Under skies of radiance
Down valleys and plains,
Speedin’ ’til we break the barriers!
In those times when you’re feeling hopeless
Know my hand’s always there for you to hold
I’ll be your ring of gold!
