[Instrumental] [Verse 1] In April skies of sixty-seven, I ran a race, felt close to heaven, Wore number two-six-one with pride, Facing doubts from every side. [Chorus] I ran, I ran, through every line, One step forward, strength was mine, I ran, I ran, despite their doubt, Showed the world what I’m about. [Bridge] Every step was breaking free, A path for others just like me, Rules rewritten mile by mile, Strength found in every trial. [Chorus] I ran, I ran, through every line, One step forward, strength was mine, I ran, I ran, despite their doubt, Showed the world what I’m about. [Outro] Now runners everywhere know my name, Proud to say, I changed the game, Kathrine Switzer, now they see, All can run, strong and free. [Verse 4] I finished strong, a moment clear, A victory felt loud and near, My race became a call to all, To rise, to run, to stand tall. [Outro] Women joined races, numbers grew, Equality closer, dreams came true, New chances born from my brave stride, Running free, hearts open wide. [Outro] My number now retired, displayed, A symbol of the change we made, Forever proof, the message clear, Every runner welcome here.
