We Came Here to Run
Run Towards Life's Anthem
Lyrics
When the rain's not coming down
When there's no rain, indicating a positive or dry period.
The sky will dry us out
The clear sky will bring relief or optimism.
And turn this swim upstream to solid ground
Challenges (swim upstream) will transform into stability (solid ground).
To stand on.
Emphasizing the stable foundation to stand on.
We'll stop measuring the time
We won't be obsessed with measuring time based on challenges.
In tides and water lines
Time will not be determined by difficulties; we'll redefine it.
We can plant this flag in land that's yours and mine
We can claim ownership and make a home in shared territory.
The way we planned on
Our plans will come to fruition as intended.
This is no place for those who wait
Implying that passivity is not suitable for this environment.
We came here to run
The purpose is to be active and pursue objectives.
This is no place for those who wait
Reiterating the rejection of a passive attitude; emphasis on action.
We came here to run
Stressing the commitment to active engagement and movement.
Breathe the morning's oxygen
Encouraging deep breaths and embracing a new day's opportunities.
And just wake and wake again
The cyclical nature of waking up repeatedly, seizing each moment.
Those hours used to be for sleeping in
Prior habits of sleeping in are being replaced with productivity.
But this time we won't waste them
Commitment not to waste valuable time and opportunities.
This is no place for those who wait
Reiterating the unsuitability of waiting; emphasizes action.
We came here to run
Stating the purpose again: being here to actively run, not wait.
This is no place for those who wait
Emphasizing the contrast between waiting and running.
We came here to run
Restating the commitment to an active, purposeful existence.
They tell you ""give it your best now""
Advice to give one's best effort, but acknowledging the risk of giving too much.
But my god, you give it away
Despite advice, there's a recognition of overcommitting or sacrifice.
They tell you ""give it your best now""
Repeating the advice to give the best but with acknowledgment of potential loss.
But my god, you give it away
Highlighting the paradox of giving one's best, possibly at a cost.
