Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out in the park with the sun shining down
Chasin’ the squirrels as they run around
Ears to the wind, my paws take flight
Every step with you feels so right
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ through the park, I’m chasing the day
I’m runnin’ by the ocean, the birds fly away
I’m runnin’ through this life, and I couldn’t want more
When I’m runnin’ with you, all the way to the shore
[Verse 2]
Under the trees where the shadows fall
I’m barkin’ at pigeons, I’m havin’ a ball
Your laughter rings out, it carries me high
The world feels endless with you by my side
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ through the park, I’m chasing the day
I’m runnin’ by the ocean, the birds fly away
I’m runnin’ through this life, and I couldn’t want more
When I’m runnin’ with you, all the way to the shore
[Verse 3]
Down by the waves where the sea meets the sky
Seagulls scatter as we pass by
Your arms hold me steady, but my heart still flies
With every laugh, with every sigh
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ through the park, but you carry me there
I’m runnin’ by the ocean, safe in your care
I’m runnin’ through this life, though my paws touch no more
Still I’m runnin’ with you, all the way to the shore
[Bridge]
Don’t cry for the steps I can’t take on my own
In your arms, I’ve already flown
The world still feels wide, the breeze still feels strong
With you beside me, I still belong
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ through the park, I’m chasing the day
I’m runnin’ by the ocean, the birds fly away
I’m runnin’ through this life, though my paws touch no more
Still I’m runnin’ with you, all the way to the shore
[Bridge]
Don’t cry for the steps I can’t take on my own
In your arms, I’ve already flown
The world still feels wide, the breeze still feels strong
With you beside me, I still belong
[Outro]
I’m runnin’ through the park, I’m chasing the day
I’m runnin’ by the ocean, the birds fly away
