Whether you're woman or whether you're man
Sometimes you got to take a stand
Just because you think you can
You got to run 
You got to run

Whether you're woman or whether you're man
Sometimes you got to take a stand
Just because you think you can
You got to run 
You got to run

Trying against the odds you're in a trance
Say who did you think you are to have a chance?
You're a no one from a place 
Where everyone knows your face
The come and go way they know the sun
So you better hang on and hey you better run
'Cause here's your chance and your race has begun

Down in a hole
You feel like two different people in your soul
Feel like a loser until you see that as you bend
You learn to be your own best friend
And you learn how and you learn when
To take a chance on the spirit of the wind

Whether you're woman or whether you're man
Sometimes you got to take a stand
Just because you think you can
You got to run 
You got to run

Babe ain't we been down
We've been so broke and been so low that I kissed the ground
But you can see yourself a winner 
Beyond the money and the greed
Beyond the pride is a pure untested need
And to be a champion is more than luck and speed
It's power and freedom in the spirit of the wind

Whether you're woman or whether you're man
Sometimes you got to take a stand
Just because you know you can
You got to run 
You got to run
