Time to run the race Now we realize There's no turning back Time to win the prize Pressing on towards the mark Light the flame with one small spark Run the race, stay the course Aiming for the goal That's beyond what you see here Keep the faith, hold it high Don't you be confused by a world of hate and fear Since you know deep within That the love you want Can be yours if you persevere Overcome all the doubt That can cloud your mind And you'll find it's very clear (clear) Though the pace is fast And the journey's long Though the heart be faint We will carry on Breathing hard, we bear the pain Counting all our loss as gain We will not give up 'Til the race is won We won't fall away Now that we've begun No reward that we can hold Striving for a crown of gold
