This Race

I, I must be in some kind of race

That I, I didn't know that I was in

And I, I must have got the winning place

That I, I didn't know was mine to win

But I, I want to take this to a place of higher love

And I, wanna find a god to pray to there above

But here, I'm down here digging in the dirt

And here, I find that there is nothing that is worth

My time

Time, what have you done to me oh time?

Sometimes, I feel I must have lost my mind

And dreams, what have you done with all my dreams?

Some things, things are never as they seem

And I, I want to take this to a place of higher love

And I, wanna find a god to pray to there above

But here, I'm down here stepping in the muck

And this, feels like it's nothing more than luck

This race

And everything is personal, just not your personal best

And everyone is looking for that medal for their chest

But I, can't even see the finish line

And this, maybe this is just a waste of time

This race, this race, this race, this race

This race, this race, this

This race, this race, this race

But I, I want to take this to a place of higher love

And I, wanna to find a god to pray to there above

But here, I'm down here stepping on your toes

As you, as you are slamming the door closed

And I, I'm down here shedding all my tears

As you, as you are living out your fears

In this race

In this race

This race, this race, this race, this race
