When you're wibble wobble legged with the finish line in sight
And you've only got to get from here to there.
If your legs won't stand the test, though you really do your best
That's when you need another runner there.

I could not leave you there, there was not too far to go
And the effort that you'd put in really showed.
You were wibble wobble legged but you did not want to rest
So determined you would get there; make that line.

I told you to go on, for the time was marching on
You were on for sub three hours and losing time.
But you wouldn't leave me there, took my arm and gave a steer
Stopped to help me, damn the time, let's make the line.

You were wibble wobble legged and could barely do a step
But I wasn't going to leave you, not so near.
Spectators looked appalled but when I stopped
They'd all applaud.
We'll do this thing together, make that line.

When a runner hits the wall, then there's nothing there at all
But I didn't mean to stop I would press on.
I said to leave me there; just carry on.
There were rival runners passing
You were losing time and placing
To sacrifice your own run really wasn't fair.
But my legs were just like jelly
And although I'd got there nearly
Those last few yards were just too far to go.

I knew what you'd put in,
All the hours and miles you'd done
And I couldn't leave you there, that near the line.
The race already won, one victor and one crown
But there's still a human race that must be run.
There are medics with a chair,
They'll  haul you off if you're left there
So I'll help you carry on and get you to the line.
For now that's the one thing on my mind.

Even when a Marshall came and took my other arm
You wouldn't go but stuck there just the same.
Though I didn't know your name, you helped me all the same
You took my arm and got me to the line.
You forgot about the clock, you just took my arm and stopped
But we both beat three hours and there's no shame.
With the race already won, one victor and one crown.
There's still a human race that must be run.
