In a hurry day and night
Never glancing left or right
Make believe that we are in control
Life is short, too short to rest
Ain't got time to catch a breath
Measure all in silver and in gold
We'll realize when we are grey and old
Our souls have long been sold
But I'm out, not me
Because you see
How will you ever find a place in the sun
If all you do is run
And all that work we face each day
Always moving on our way
Keeping cool while carrying the load
You know here and there I wish I could
Just stand still and then I would
Pass the time away and take it slow
We'll realize when we are grey and old
Our souls have long been sold
But I'm out, not me
Because you see
How will you ever find a place in the sun
If all you do is run
But I'm out, not me
Because you see
How will you ever find a place in the sun
If all you do is run
How will you ever find a place in the sun
If all you do is run
