The Race

Around the world he traveled

To start the games that he dreamed of, dreamed of

His biggest triumph lingers

Will only slip through his fingers

He wants to feel the crowd

And be a winner

Each time he takes the step

His reason now for living

Praying silently

He's running there

Running faster

To hear the sheers

The crowd moves closer

He's getting near

A smile displays his victory

It's only for a moment, a moment

Towards the sky in wonder

His mind begins to wander

The cheers are getting near

His name he hears

But he will never fall

This is really living

Praying silently

He's getting near

His time is here

The crowd gets closer

The end is near

From childhood to manhood

He didn't seem to care

He had no time for people

He had no time to share

The biggest race of all

He wants to feel the crowd

And be a winner

Each time he takes a step

His reason is now for living

Praying silently

He's running here

Running faster

To hear the cheers

The crowd moves closer

He's getting near

He's almost here

Getting faster

His time is here

The crowds move closer

The end is here
