Verse 1
I’m seventeen, got my eyes on the prize,
Living college life with a high school disguise.
Walking the halls, yeah, feeling the buzz,
Running Start, yeah, I’m ready because—
Got my textbooks, got my dreams,
Switching up worlds like I’m in between scenes.
Early mornings and coffee strong,
This is where I feel I belong.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I’m taking off like a rocket now,
No slowing down, no looking down.
The future’s bright, and it starts today,
Yeah, I’m on my way!
Chorus
Running Start, I’m breaking free,
High school kid with a college degree.
Feeling alive, making my mark,
I’m hitting my stride in the dark.
Running Start, I’m chasing the thrill,
Living my dream, bending my will.
Eyes on the prize, heart in the race,
Running Start, I’m finding my place.
Verse 2
Professors know my name, but they don’t know my age,
Juggling school and life like I’m center stage.
My friends back home don’t know the feel,
But I’m riding this wave, and it’s all so real.
Quiz at noon, I’m up at five,
Balancing two worlds, I’m staying alive.
They say it’s tough, but I’m tougher than that,
Running Start, yeah, I’m where it’s at!
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I’m soaring now, can’t hold me down,
No one can stop this college town.
I’m young, I’m bold, I’m pushing through,
I’m ready for something new!
Chorus
Running Start, I’m breaking free,
High school kid with a college degree.
Feeling alive, making my mark,
I’m hitting my stride in the dark.
Running Start, I’m chasing the thrill,
Living my dream, bending my will.
Eyes on the prize, heart in the race,
Running Start, I’m finding my place.
Bridge
Yeah, I’m here for the ride, taking control,
Putting my future on centerfold.
It’s late nights, early lights, a balancing game,
But Running Start’s taking me to fame.
Verse 3
Graduation caps in the sky,
Earned every grade, saying goodbye.
Running Start was the key to it all,
Now I’m ready to stand tall.
Outro
So here’s to dreams, here’s to the start,
I’m ready to fly, to play my part.
Running Start lit the flame in me,
Now I’m ready to be free.
