The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
I'm backing a winner
And I'm not afraid of taking a chance
There's no chance, I've got an inside tip
You may say I'm a sinner
I've waited too long to get in the game
Just the same, I'll take the chance
There's no way
That I'm going to let go
I've been reaching long enough
Oh, to know what I want
It's not so hard to touch
It just looks that way
'Cause I want it so much
That I can taste it
I'm not gonna waste a minute's more time
That's alright for some people
But I won't spend my life waiting in line
Reaching out
For some shooting star
We keep hearing that it's right where we are
All I want
And all that I can find
Is the strength I need
To keep up with my mind
Oh, the race is on
The race is on (the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
Don't just give me my winnings
You save them up for somebody else
'Cause I'm in a hurry
I can't take time to make it make sense
The race is on (the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go (the race is on)
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go (oh, oh)
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on (oh, the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go (yeah)
