All crouched at the starting line
Racing for what is so divine
Each of us numbered, like a day of the week
Seeing our futures within a few feet
Staring at each other with bloodshot eyes
Waiting for that one small chance to arise
Sweat dripping out of every last pore
All reaching for that one perfect score
On the stand the emerald flag drops
We take off fast as each heart stops
Two, three, four at a time
Watching as the meters climb
First one around the bend,
The meter descends,
Then once again as fast as he can
Just as the others are making a stand
My heart begins pumping
The meter is jumping
I need to go fast
I just can not be last
Around the next bend, I pick up the speed
A little bit faster, thats all that I need
Second in line, almost there
Passed up by someone with a little more flare
A race to the finish, its all in plain sight
The trophy on stand gleaming bright
All crunched together, just til the end
I picked up speed before the last bend
Cross over the finish and to my surprise
The race was life, and death was the prize
To race for so long, for the ultimate end
Makes us race faster along that last bend
