The Race - Yello

I could walk across the lawn or not at all I could make you think I'm wrong and take the fall But I've never been wrong in my life That's a long time, maybe it's been once or twice I could waste some time and not feel lost I bet I could lose the race And still feel confident But I move so fast I'm hard to see Oh, it's not easy being me I wish I could be someone else from time to time I wish I could look at your life and know it's mine I wish I could be someone else

As a kid I grew up in a house in the middle of the states In a happy home where I knew I would be safe Down the street there were boys that found trouble every day And I always wondered why that happened when we played Riding bikes after school was a rush, feel the breeze Showing off, playing cool when your crush is pleased I remember staying up all night with friends Living for each moment The daily grind, is the gain The finish line, may not come today There's joy in the journey, there's purpose in our pain I've found the prize is the race From youth camps near the Flagstaff mountain heights To college trips like my South Korean flight I made friends, and grew, and began to find All the things that make me feel so alive I am neither the boy that I once was Nor the man that I'm striving to become But my feet are always moving It's a joy to run The daily grind, is the gain The finish line, may not come today There's joy in the journey, there's purpose in our pain I've found the prize is the race Time really flies I wanna make the most of my life To not waste one day 'Cause each moment is special in its own way The daily grind, is the gain The finish line, may not come today There's joy in the journey, there's purpose in our pain I've found the prize is the race
