Way back in time
Greek in his prime
Running it all away
Second to none
Under a thumb
The news reaches Athens today
Tired and burned
He never feels the pain
The Greek keeps running ahead
It's all in the game
Marathon
Marathon
Marathon
See us today
In work and in play
We're all a part of the race
Doesn't it scorch
To carry the torch
Up at the same old pace
Tired and burned
Inspired by the pain
Man keeps running ahead
It's all in the game
Marathon
Marathon
Marathon
Marathon (whispered)
See us today
In work and in play
We're all a part of the race
Doesn't it scorch
To carry the torch
Up at the same old pace
Tired and burned
Inspired by the pain
Man keeps running ahead
It's all in the game
Marathon
