Did you ever dream you were running?
That the ground was a wheel beneath you?
Yet, no matter how hard you tried you just weren`t moving?
And whatever race you were in you`d be beat?
No matter what people say, they can`t change history-
You were once called a loser-
And a hopeless freak-
Born in the bluegrass state-
You were in the lead from the start-
A tingle swept through you-
At the feel of the blanket-
The feel of the track-
The feel of you jockey-
As he climbed upon your back-
The others couldn`t catch you-
They never got a second glance-
Heads turned to watch you-
`Cause they never got a second glance-
Running for the roses..........
You blew them all away..............
You`re still in the hearts.........
Of many today..........
Your power and might..........
In the heat of the fight..........
When you ran for the roses...........
You blew us all away..........
At first the odds were against you-
In a twenty horse race-
They tried to put you down-
But you kept your feet-
Most said it was impossible-
It was just the way you looked-
Thankfully you just shut all these notions-
Right outta your head-
All the money was on the favorite-
The others can`t get a second glance-
You had one chance to prove you worthy of the honor-
And you took that chance with joy-
And it was a run for the Crown-
As fast as you could-
Your fate was delivered-
Your moment was at hand-
It was a chance of a lifetime-
In a lifetime full of chances-
And it`s definitly time-
That we joined you in the dance-
Running for the roses..............
You blew them all away........
You`re still in the hearts.........
Of many today..........
Your power and might.........
In the heat of the fight...........
When you ran for the roses.......
You blew us all away............
One night you had a different dream-
You chased our moon`s reflection in a running stream-
All the stars in heaven up above-
Stood there oh so still-
You kept on running-
And you were halfway up the hill, when-
You saw the crowd and finish line-
Passing the wire you say, "The prize is mine."-
You might have been crazy-
A dreamer they said-
But now it`s all behind you-
And lives on in your head-
`Cause it was a run for the Crown-
You ran as fast as you could-
Your fate was delivered-
Your moment at hand-
It was the chance of a lifetime-
In a lifetime full of chances-
Running for the roses.....
You blew them all away.........
You`re still in the hearts.......
Of many today..........
You were bred a champion-
The champion at best-
Your owner trained you hard-
And she let God do the rest-
You were once that little one on wobbling legs-
Then you became a magnificent stallion-
Running for the roses.........
You blew them all away.......
You`re still in the hearts.........
Of many today........
Your power and might........
In the heat of the fight...........
When you ran for the roses...........
You took our breath away................
Secretariat...........
