Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeThe Ballad Of Terry Fox
The wind was cold and thinOut on the highway's edgeA solitary figureWith a solemn pledgeOne leg of bone, one leg of steelA skip and a heavy heelBrought up in BC and ManitobaHe didn't fail to make us feelYeah, the road was long where he once ranHe did the best any human canGet across the country, that's the planThat's the spirit of our manHe didn't run for medalsHe didn't run for goldBut for the people and their storiesThat never will be toldAcross the asphalt and the gravelThrough the heat and rainHe carried the nation's weight for twenty-six milesThen he'd go againYeah, the road was long where he once ranHe did the best any human canGet across the country, that's the planThat's the spirit of our manWell, the road was lined with peopleWho came out to see him runBut the lungs grew tired and he got wearyBefore he was doneOn a lonely stretchNear Thunder BayHis stride was haltedThe body gave wayYeah, the road was long where he once ranHe did the best any human canGet across the country, that's the planThat's the spirit of our manThe finish line was in his mindNot a city on a mapThere was no closing ceremonyJust a roadside clapHe might have had to stop the runBut the fight still carries onFor every heart that followed himThe race was bravely wonWell, the road was long where he once ranHe did the best any human canGet across the country, that's the planThat's the spirit of our manIf there ever was a heroIf there ever was a saintHe ran through fire and through painAny lesser soul would faintHe said it's a mission greater than himselfAnd his words are still ringing trueHe ran for everybodyAnd he ran for me and you
