THE RACE

The race is harder than arithmetic
And some'll say it can't be won
And it gets harder when your shoes are slick
But I had set my mind to run

And it was harder than I bargained for
With broken dreams at every turn
But I had heart enough to almost make it through
And a lesson yet to learn

I slipped and fell before the finish line
Just when it seemed I couldn't lose
I can fall anytime you want me to
You are the shit beneath my shoes
