Lyrics

In a world of winners and losers
Some are userd, some are the users;
It's a push and shove race
Of trying to get ahead
In the dust of all the confusion
We make a choice, truth or illusion;
Will we listen to lies
Or hear what the father says

Chorus
We are running in a human race
Where nobody wants to settle for second place;
But we've got to run it at a different pace
'Cause the first will be last and the last will be first
At the end of the human race

In a day when values are changing
What kind of ground are we really gaining;
Who are we trying to serve by going the extra mile
We can't trade the truth for the fashion;
We've got to live a life of compassion
And those we touch are the prize
That waits at the finish line

(Chorus)

We are running in the human race;
We must run it at a different pace
'Cause we'll all meet the father face to face
At the finish line of the human race. (2x)

(Chorus)
