Within the deepest of sleep
A movement of rapid eye catches
A man running a long distance heat
Strangely representing Atlantis
Yet fantasising over, such Olympic Utopias
Knowing full well the fact is;
No matter what piece of granite
That man seeks to inhabit
He can't escape his stealth
And he chases wealth
So the pain is felt
As we compete for the planet
Where fields are turned into tracks
And there seems to be no turning back
From hundreds of meters and hundreds of hurdles
The religious build steeples
The political sweep murders
Under the rug as external javelins are thrown
Alas there is no shot putt to put off
A tragic shot to your dome
Leaving no room to discuss in disgust
At the gust of atrocities that will never be shown
So run my friend run,
It's time to move on...
Run to make the whole world see
Run to tantalise the audience eyes
With your incredible speed
Run faster than our incredible greed
Plant an indelible seed
Make us inevitably see
That it's an unacceptable belief
For one man to run the planet
While another will never be free
So run faster than Hitler
Leave Stalin witless
Outpace Vietnam and Iraq
Beat Darfur down with your fitness
Surpass Apartheid, the Rwandan genocide
Move through Georgia and Tibet
To a mindset, beyond the Northern Ireland devide
Created to play the sport of lies
On a podium to despise
That the more a man gets
The more six fingered his hand gets
The more twisted the plan gets
With missiles, ships and jets
So run Forest run
Escape what you have become
And with the rise of the morning sun
Show the World a true Olympian
