Taking The Inside Rail .......... Sting

It Ain't Over Yet .......... Bryan Adams

Words and music by Sting

Did you ever have a dream that you were running?
Where the ground is like a wheel beneath your feet?
And no matter how you tried you just weren't moving
In whatever race you're running you'd be beat?
In whatever race you're running you'd be beat?

They tell me I'm a loser
I'm a hopeless freak
I look kind of funny and my little legs are weak
The wrong side of the blanket
The wrong side of the track
I hear the accusations when they talk behind my back

All the money is on the favorite
I don't get a second glance
I'm not even in the running here with an outside chance

And then I see your lovely face
Stand up and I'm back in the race
Nothing is going to stop me
I wasn't born to fail
I'm taking the inside rail

All the odds against me
In the two horse race
If I stand up they push me back down flat on my face
They tell me it's impossible
It's just the way I'm bred
And get these crazy notions right out of my head

All the money's on the favorite
I don't get a second glance
I'm not even in the running here with an outside chance

And then I see your lovely face
Pay no attention to the odds I face
I'm running from the outside
I wasn't born to fail
I'm taking the inside rail

Last night I had a different dream
I chased the moon's reflection in a running stream
While all the stars in heaven
Were standing there so still
I just keep on running and I'm half way up the hill

I see the crowd and the finish line
I see the day when the prize is mine
It maybe crazy the dream that I swear
The clouds are all behind me
The wind's in my hair

And then I see your lovely face
Pay no attention to the odds I face
I'm running from the outside
I wasn't born to fail
I'm taking the inside rail

(Adams/Peters/Kennedy)

Turn me loose - it's now or never
Feel like I could run forever
A new day's come - a new moon's risin'
I take my chances on the blue horizon
A leap of faith - a shot of spirit
Freedom's callin' - I can hear it

Hold on tight - we're gonna get there
It's time we're on our way

It ain't over yet - you can lay your bet
Now nothin's in my way - you ain't seen nothin' yet
I have learned to fly - hold my head up high
Somethin' I don't want you to forget
It ain't over yet, it ain't over yet

I was born to run - born to ramble
Any prize's a worth a gamble
Sometimes I get the urge to wonder
Cuz I'm a child of the wild blue yonder
Fill our hands - the sky's the limit
The race is on - we have to win it

Hold on tight - we're gonna get there
It's time we're on our way

It ain't over yet - you can lay your bet
Now nothin's in my way - you ain't seen nothin' yet
I have learned to fly - hold my head up high
Somethin' I don't want you to forget
It ain't over yet

How ya gonna know if ya got what it takes
Can't be a winner if ya don't run a race

Ya know you're gettin nothin
If ya come second place
Cuz it ain't over until it's over

Aow it ain't over yet - you can lay your bet
Now nothin's in my way - you ain't seen nothin' yet
I have learned to fly - hold my head up high
Somethin' I don't want you to forget

It ain't over yet (it ain't over yet)
It ain't over yet (it ain't over yet)
Oh nothin's in my way - you ain't seen nothin' yet
I have learned to fly - hold my head up high
Somethin' I don't want you to forget
It ain't over yet

No!
It ain't over yet

It ain't over yet
