Οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού:
It's been a long time running
'Cause I had some things to see
I had to meet some people
Who were there to believe in me
I'm taking all that struggle
Reminds me what I'm fighting for
I'm living it up, I ain't gonna stop
Till I make that final score
And I'll keep running as fast as I can
I'll keep running
I won't stop, I won't stop, no no
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time
But I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
(Running, running) Yeah
Give me a million reasons
But my answer stays the same
You can try to put me in a box
But I'm doing it my own damn way
See I can stand them talkers
All pretending that their lives' a mess
'Cause whatever you want, whatever you need
You gotta get off your…
And I'll keep running as fast as I can
I'll keep running
I won't stop, I won't stop
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time
But I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
Hey, I'm running on air
Running, running on air
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Running, running
Now I don't care
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, hey now
Yeah… (Oh whoa… oh whoa…)
You can push me, push me down
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Hey now
But I'll get up again
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time
But I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
'Cause I had some things to see
I had to meet some people
Who were there to believe in me
I'm taking all that struggle
Reminds me what I'm fighting for
I'm living it up, I ain't gonna stop
Till I make that final score
And I'll keep running as fast as I can
I'll keep running
I won't stop, I won't stop, no no
Hey now, if you push me down I'll get up again
Hey now, if you let me drown I'll swim like a champion
I'm sure there'll be good times, there'll be bad time
But I don't care 'cause I'm running on air
(Running, running) Yeah
Give me a million reasons

Hey, I'm running on air
Running, running on air
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Running, running

Hey now, hey now
Yeah… (Oh whoa… oh whoa…)
You can push me, push me down
(Oh whoa… oh whoa…) Hey now
