Run For It

When the day is done

Down to the earth then sinks the sun

Along with everything that was lost and won

When the day is done



When the day is up

Hope so much your race will all be run

Then you find you jump the gun

Have to go back where you began

When the day is done



When the night is cold

Some get by but some get old

Just to show that life's not made of gold

When the night is cold



When the bird has flown

You got no one to call your own

You got no place to call your home

When the bird has flown



When the game's been fought

You speed the ball across the court

Lost so much sooner than you would have thought

Now the games been fought



When the party is through

It seems so very sad for you

Didn't do the things you meant to do

Now there's no time to start anew

Now the party's through



The day is done

Down to earth then sinks the sun

Along with everything that was lost and won

When the day is done
