Speed was my gift and my curse Always moving, never still But what happens when the fastest thing alive Gets tired of the chase? Blue streak through the night Chaos emeralds gleaming bright Saved your world how many times? Still I'm the one who has to hide All the battles, all the scars Robotnik, echidnas, stars Always there to save the day While tom and maddie live their way No more running to the rescue No more hiding who I am This blur you fear's about to clear As I take my final stand They called me hero (but heroes get tired) They called me friend (but friends get betrayed) They called for help (but who helps me?) Again and again (and again and again) Green hills to the mushroom planet Every realm at my command Power that could level mountains Wasted saving ungrateful hands Knuckles understood this truth Before he joined your side The strongest should be ruling Not serving from the sidelines Do you know what it's like? To be everywhere and nowhere? Moving so fast the world stands still Watching all of you grow old while I stay the same I've outrun everything except my loneliness Until now No more running to the rescue No more hiding who I am This blur you fear's about to clear As I take my final stand I could circle the globe before your heart beats once I could dismantle your cities atom by atom I could rewrite reality with speed force alone And still you treat me like your pet, your mascot, your weapon Faster! Than your eyes can see Stronger! Than you'll ever be Darker! Than the hero you knew The blue blur's gone midnight hue No more running to the rescue No more hiding who I am The blur you fear has now appeared As I take my final stand Catch me if you can (But you never could)
