Fragile man I see
It's been hard
And I know that you're doing your part
And I know in the end
That it feels like a purposeless piece of art

Take it in stride, my prefontaine
You can kick hard at the end

Dear woman
You're wearing your hurt
And hiding what's left of your love
And it seems like there's no one to love you
This world has taken all that you're capable of

Take it in stride, my prefontaine
You can kick hard at the end
You have the guts, my prefontaine
Sacrefice your gift, my friend

Prefontaine, you did it again
What you sold your preemptive when
You ran down one lonely street
And the one thing that could stop you
Did

But child, there's no easy way out of the fast lane
Slow down and listen, my prefontaine
Fight the good fight in this beautiful life
Keep the faith
And finish the race
