Lyrics
[Intro] [Rain on Pavement and Paper Cup Splash Foley]
Splash, grab! Water cups lined up on the folding table long
A supportive melody in our marathon song!
[Verse 1] [Fender Rhodes and Driving Synth]
Volunteers shouting encouragement in yellow raincoats bright
Guiding our footsteps through the stormy night
Paper cups of citrus electrolyte water crushed in hand
The kindest hospitality in the racing land
Cold rain washing the sweat from my shoulders and face
Maintaining our rhythmic and unyielding pace
Puddles reflecting the blue avenue neon light
Lighting up the quiet of the marathon night
[Pre-Chorus] [Muted Trumpet and Snare Snap]
Energy restored with every single sip
Continuing our athletic and heroic trip
[Chorus] [Uplifting Refreshing Station Drop]
Grabbing paper cups of lemon water in the autumn rain
Conquering through every fatigue and mental strain
Along the forty-kilometer course of the city run
Knowing that our victory has just begun
Drink fast, stride on, feel the hydration heal
The deepest gratitude that my spirit can feel
[Verse 2] [Guitar Chops and Bassline]
I toss the paper cup in the blue recycling bin
Where the final four-mile sprint can begin
My shoes splash rhythmically across the wet street
Happy in our energetic and unwearied feet
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony and Trumpet Solo]
Let the marathon volunteers be praised tonight
For offering their comfort and their light
Water, rain, roads and loving grace
Inside this sacred, open city space
[Chorus] [Uplifting Refreshing Station Drop]
Grabbing paper cups of lemon water in the autumn rain
Conquering through every fatigue and mental strain
Along the forty-kilometer course of the city run
Knowing that our victory has just begun
Drink fast, stride on, feel the hydration heal
The deepest gratitude that my spirit can feel
[Outro] [Paper Cup Crunch and Footsteps Splashing]
Electrolyte station...
Four miles to glory!
[Fade Out]
[End]
