I could see it on the road ahead
Running hard, I'm here
But I could be there instead

Many houses with the lights on
Silhouette behind the shades
Beside fires, I'm sure I saw you in one

I loved you but that was way back then
Now I'm alone outside
And then I face the wind
The rain washes me thin

Knocked me down but I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again.

Race through the shadows
Race against stone
Sunken city that I thought was my own
Might be a brave new world
But it's really not my home

Roll over, fall in
My God I screamed
They might catch them
But they won't catch me

I'm out here clean and I'm free
Yes, I'm free

Knocked me down but I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again.
