  • Silence in the mountains
    Sirens wail in city streets
    The heat I radiate shall melt away all icy sheets
    100 million years before the burnout of the sun
    Dreams to be fulfilled
    Life's still yet to come

    If to fail is your fate
    And to succeed is destiny
    Place you hand up on your heart
    And rise above in liberty

    I am the marathon man
    Catch me if you can
    Got miles and miles already run
    Miles and miles still left to come and
    I am the marathon man
    With the whole world in my hands

    When the heat disturbs your senses
    Sweet surrender to the realms
    When the cold breaks down defenses
    See me standing at the helm
    100 million years before the burnout of the sun
    Dreams to be fulfilled
    Life's still yet to come

    If to fail is your fate
    And to succeed is destiny
    Keep your eyes up on the prize
    All join hands with me

    I am the marathon man
    Catch me if you can
    Got miles and miles already run
    Miles and miles still left to come and
    I am the marathon man
    With the whole world in my hands

    If to fail is your fate
    And to succeed is destiny
    Keep your eyes up on the prize
    All join hands with me

    I am the marathon man
    Catch me if you can
    Got miles and miles already run
    Miles and miles still left to come and
    I am the marathon man
    With the whole world in my hands Writer/s: DAVE MCCRACKEN, IAN BROWN
