My heart's pounding out my chest
But the rhythm lets me know that I'm alive
I'm out here drowing in my stress
But I'll get through this
I know that I'll survive
'Cause even when the wind is blowing back with resistance
The sun comes shing through once in a while
And even if the finish line is out in the distance
It's not easy but it's worth every mile
Out of breath but I'm still breathing
On the clock but we still got time
Happiness don't come easy
It's a marathon
It's a marathon
I'm not giving up
No, I'm not giving up
Doesn't matter if I fall
From the ground I'd crawl
'Cause it's a marathon
I'm not giving up
They're not all smooth paved out roads
No, there's always going to be some hills to climb
Even if I know that I might be running slow
Well, at least I'm moving forward all the time
'Cause even when the wind is blowing back with resistance
The sun comes shining through once in a while
And even if the finish line is out in the distance
It's not easy but it's worth every mile
Out of breath but I'm still breathing
On the clock but we still got time
Happiness don't come easy
It's a marathon
It's a marathon
I'm not giving up
No, I'm not giving up
Doesn't matter if I fall
From the ground I'd crawl
'Cause it's a marathon
I'm not giving up
I ain't ever giving up
Good is never good enough
I won't throw my time away
This is what it's all about
Even if my lungs give out
Heart will take me all the way
Out of breath but I'm still breathing
On the clock but we still got time
Happiness don't come easy
It's a marathon
It's a marathon
I'm not giving up (I'm not ever giving up)
No, I'm not giving up (yeah, yeah)
Doesn't matter if I fall
From the ground I'd crawl (ground I'd crawl)
It's a marathon
I'm not giving up
