Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a song that an athlete can listen to as he prepares to take on a physical challenge, full of "stadium rock" type stomping and aggressive beat, like Queen's "We Will Rock You".

Lyrics
Born to run, you're gonna be the one
Who's gonna set the world on fire
And you're burn the brightest, yeah.
Shot from a gun, you're second to none
And everyone will stare in wonder
As you climb the highest, yeah.
(Prechorus)
Only winners are the ones that we remember.
There are the trophies for the ones that have surrendered.
So you never let go, you never give up your dreams, yeah.
(Chorus)
You know you're gonna be the one who
Is gonna break on through, yeah.
Like the flaring of the sun, you
Are gonna break on through, yeah.
Walls come down, you break new ground.
You see your goal a little bit closer.
And you're feeling bolder, yeah.
Only winners are the ones that we remember.
There are the trophies for the ones that have surrendered.
So you never let go, you never give up your dreams, yeah.
You know you're gonna be the one who
Is gonna break on through, yeah.
Like the flaring of the sun, you
Are gonna break on through, yeah.
(Bridge)
You're a winner, you're golden
You're not beholden
To anybody who is holding
You back and trying to detract
From everything you've got.
Ready or not: you're gonna take your shot, oh yeah.
(Repeat chorus and fade)
