Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's a one way street with an open end

And you never know what lies ahead

But I always knew that this was it

The signs were lit, oh, I always knew

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

[Verse 3]

I'm on overdrive, gonna play it fast

And I won't look back, there'll be no regrets

I'll keep my head up, even if I'm failing

'Cause I'm getting closer, oh, I know, oh, I know

[Verse 4]

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

[Verse 5]

I'll be ready when the moment comes

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

[Verse 6]

It's a one way street with an open end

And you never know what lies ahead

But I always knew this was it

The signs were lit, oh, I always knew

[Verse 7]

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

[Verse 8]

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes

I'm gonna hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Only waiting for the marching drums

I'll be ready when the moment comes
