Text: Beverley Knight. Ambition.

In my life I have but one obsession
It consumes my thought both night and day
It shows in everything I've done
The will to be a number one
That's just how I pray
I've gotta run..

Faster than the lead
Just can't stop, can't go slow
I've gotta drive beyond full speed
Just can't stop still I know
No matter what you desire, how much you pursue
Well, it all comes to you

Mama says I gotta learn a lesson
From those who crash and burn and fade away

She tells me there's a higher hand
Presiding on a master plan
So what's in store who can say?
So I try to run

[chorus]

Possibility are infinite
I'm not the kind to wait
Maybe all the things you really need
To choose
What my mama said
But I've gotta run...
