This Race
You go and go
In this race
It takes all you got
Just keep the pace
At first its cakewalk
In this race
Easy work with no stop
You can keep the pace
Sometimes you will falter
In this race
You're injured or hurting
Got to keep the pace
At a point it becomes natural
In this race
You think you won't stop
Easily keep the pace
You eventually grow tired
In this race
You want to stop
You must keep the pace
Your body won't take any more
In this race
But you keep going
You're keeping the pace
The end is in sight
In this race
You know you will make it
Pick up the pace
You're finished, you're done
In this race
The sweet relief and happiness
Stop the pace
You get your reward
After this race
Release and rest
No more pace
One flat line
To finish this race
No winner and no loser
No more pace and no more race
