I wanna go the distance
Life is like a race, a marathon
Can't afford to miss it
I've gotta make the most with this time I've got

I don't wanna be lukewarm
So light a fire in my soul
Till I run the streets of Gold

I wanna get to heaven out of breath
Don't wanna waste no time when I cross the finish line
Oh Lord, I wanna hear You say
Well done, my child and my friend
When I get to heaven out of breath

A million miles a minute
Life is like a vapor and we're short on time
With every breath I'm given
I'll shout it from the mountain tops, I'll burn so bright

I don't wanna be lukewarm
So light a fire in my soul until I run the streets of Gold

I wanna get to heaven out of breath
Don't wanna waste no time when I cross the finish line
Oh Lord, wanna hear You say
Well done, my child and my friend
When I get to heaven out of breath
Out of breath, to heaven out of breath, oh out of breath

Like a steam rolling train, I'll be on my way
On my way until the wheels fall off
Till I see Your face, walk through heaven's gates
I will run, I will run, I will run

I wanna get to heaven out of breath
Don't wanna waste no time when I cross the finish line
Oh Lord, I wanna hear You say
Well done, my child and my friend
When I get to heaven out of breath
Out of breath, to heaven out of breath
Well done, my child and my friend, when I get to heaven out of breath
