Lyrics

I remember the lights
They take my old mind back to a younger game
And the drive for a chance at a name
It came low and inside, I stepped out of the way
And then there was wildness
Heaving right for the middle as the bat came down
Like the sound of the roar of a crowd
I was calling for the wall, but the sound died out
When you’re close to glory, you give it all to chase it
All I know is that I almost made it
Oh I was running, I was in the running
Oh I was running, I was in the running for the best
I remember the sea
The arctic breeze of a heart set in stone
And burning for the edge of the world
For a wild cut of heaven to call my own
And then there was silence
But for the wailing of the wind as the sun went down
And the cold closing all around
I was holding on to hope as the hope ran out
When you’re close to glory, you give it all to chase it
All I know is that I almost made it
Oh I was running, I was in the running
Oh I was running, I was in the running for the best
I’ve been running all my life from the fear in my bones
Of being nothing but a cold, timid soul
I wanna know now, brother, before I go to rest
I remember the pain
My whole life training in the docks on the east coastline
And the glow of the fear in her eyes
Begging the Lord that I’d make it one last fight
And then there was violence
Oh the cheering and the blood as the gloves came down
At the nod of the man in the crowd
I was reaching for the ropes as the bell rang out
So close to glory, I’d give it all to taste it
All I know is that I almost made it
Oh I was running, I was in the running
Oh I was running, I was in the running
I may amount to nothing, but once I was something, oh
I was in the running for the best
