Running in Circles

Running in circles like a mouse in a maze
Or like a man who has lost his sight.
Such a journey could leave you stranded for days.

Coming out from the start, trying not to raise
Your body or you may be out of the fight.
Running in circles like a mouse in a maze.

So ready to run fast and determined to blaze
The track, and yet you feel like a deer in a headlight.
Such a journey should leave you stranded for days.

Mind on the timing of floating after the drive phase
And struggling with lactic build up and the glorious plight.
Running in circles like a mouse in a maze.

Running through the cold and the rain, the fog and the haze.
Battling the pressures of victory under the lights of the night.
Such a journey would leave you stranded for days.

I run for the love of the sport and the praise
Even thought the margin for error is tight.
Running in circles like a mouse in a maze,
Such a journey could leave you stranded for days.
