Run the Race.

Let's run, let's fly,
let's win the race, let's try,
Training daily, sweat dripping,
Feet pounding, hair whipping,
As we run like the wind.
Over hills, round the bends,
Raising money for those in need,
Helping out those who do good deeds.
Puffing, panting- worth the effort,
For those in crisis, those feeling left out,
Putting others first,
Despite our thirst,
Despite the cramps and aches,
Because our heart breaks,
When people cry out in distress,
We wouldn't do anything less.
Let's run, let's fly,
Let's win the race, let's try.
