Intro
There is a race that I must run
There are Victories to be won
Give me power every Hour

There is a race that I must run
There are Victories to be won
Give me power every Hour
To be true

There's a race that I must run
There are victories to be won
Give me power, every hour, to be true

There's a race that I must run
There are victories to be won
Give me power, every hour, to be true

"Everybody has a race ...
let us start our race...
Keep on running
