Thunder in These Two Hands

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, hear the engines call Back when I could outrun them all [Verse 1] I hit the lane and the whole team froze Dust on my shoes, fire in my clothes Everybody knew when I took that turn Fastest in the pack, watch the rubber burn No stopwatch could keep up with my pace I left yesterday in a cloud of haze Coach said, “Breathe,” but I laughed instead Had a rocket in my chest and a race in my head [Pre-Chorus] I was quick, quick, quicker than the morning sun One more step and the whole thing’s done [Chorus] I was so fast, I was gone, gone, gone Everybody knew I was the one, one, one From the track to the moon, watch me fly Old days roaring like a launch in the sky Oh my God, look how far I ran Still got thunder in these two hands I was so fast, I was gone, gone, gone That was back then, but the fire lives on [Verse 2] Team lined up, I was already clear Crowd got loud when I shifted the gear Blue sky waiting past the finish-line tape I had no map, just a need to escape Up through the clouds with my eyes wide open Every old doubt left broken and smoking Now I tell the young ones, “Find your stride” Keep that wild little engine alive inside [Bridge] Maybe the knees don’t move like before Maybe the years put a mark on the floor But when I close my eyes, I’m back at the start Laces pulled tight and a drum in my heart [Final Chorus] I was so fast, I was gone, gone, gone Everybody knew I was the one, one, one From the track to the moon, watch me fly Old days roaring like a launch in the sky Oh my God, look how far I ran Still got thunder in these two hands I was so fast, I was gone, gone, gone That was back then, but the fire lives on [Outro] Fast in the memory, strong in the soul Past on the track, future in control
