Run on

Every girl dreams of being Cinderella
Every girl wants to wear a pretty dress
Every girl wants her mom to do her make-up
Every girl has been fifteen

Every girl wants to be asked to prom
Every girl dreams of that her sophomore year
Every girl wants to go dress shopping
Every girl wants to wear high heels
Every girl has these dreams

I�m not every girl
I dream of being Lolo Jones
I want to wear my running shorts
And I want to throw my hair in a ponytail
I�m not like every girl at age fifteen

I�m flatter that I was asked to prom
But I have bigger dreams in mind
I�d rather be the girl who skipped prom for a half marathon
And this girl wants to go for a jog
I�m dreaming of my running shoes
I�m dreaming of a race

I�m dreaming of these things
Because I want to do this for me
Running is for me
Running is for my granddad
Running is my new dream
Running has a story to tell
And the road is a good listener
Running is my passion

Many people say runners are insane
I completely agree
Although I think the reason runners run
Is because it keeps them sane
Imagine if we didn�t run
Imagine if the road plugged its ears
We would be lost if we didn�t run

Run. Girl. Run.
