I’ve always searched for lovely images, quotes and lyrics, but since Richard passed away I find myself searching for more. Perhaps it's a quest to find meaning. That I don’t really know, I’m just guessing. But, I have always found that things present themselves just when you need them most. So it is with this.
I have always loved the soundtrack from the Chariots of Fire. Whilst searching for this I stumbled across Russell Watson singing the lyrics to the most famous piece from the movie score. It's called “Race To The End”. Given the circumstances surrounding Richards passing the words seemed fitting. So here they are along with the YouTube link to Russell Watson singing it. I think it's beautiful. Like some many inspiring pieces it touches my soul. The rest I’ll leave to your imagination. I hope you enjoy it.
Race To The End
There is but one freedom
Man running along
Each step that he's taking
A step to his soul
The passion and courage
It takes to be there
The spirit of freedom
Alive in the air
Whenever the running man awakes
To challenge to glory
He knows he can turn the key once more
To unlock the soul
The way becomes clearer
The way is complete
The need, that of winning
Admit no defeat
The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to fly
Whenever the running man awakes
To challenge to glory
He knows he can turn the key once more
To unlock the soul
Let no man surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
To try to the end
A race to the end
A race to the end
A race to the end
