Lyrics
As I walk through this broken land
See the tears of a river
Hear the mountain cry
In the sky way bleak, black night
From the cries just down a lightning strike
Oh, running all my life
Oh, still running tonight
It’s an uphill battle
Running every day of my life
It’s an uphill battle
I’m running
I’m still running
Running up that hill
Every day I get up off the floor
And I keep on coming back for more and more
No matter how hard that kick in the face
I keep on coming there’s no disgrace
Oh, running all my life
Oh, hear the river wind cry
It’s an uphill battle
Running every day of my life
It’s an uphill battle
I’m running
I’m running
Running up that hill
