Second Mile ©2003 by Daniel Epp & Danny Van Hofwegen

Seventy times around the sun
Then my life is gonna be done
I don't want to wake up someday
Thinking I threw my life away
The road I take to heaven
Just might save someone from hell
I don't want to just run the race
I want to run it well

(chorus) I want to go
I want to go
Go the second mile
I want to go the second mile (repeat)

I don't want to just survive
I'm gonna make a difference with my life
When the road gets rough I pray
Lord don't let me fade away
I've waited for my moment
And I know that this is it
I don't care what time it is
It's much too soon to quit
(repeat chorus)

(bridge) Why should I go the extra distance
The answer's easy to see
Someone went a long way
Out of his way
When He died for you and me
Oh don't you see
He died for you and me

Seventy times around the sun
Then my life is gonna be done….
(repeat chorus)

Can't stay gotta go
Don't you know
So here I go
Can't stay gotta go
I gotta go
The second mile
The second mile
