The Race Lyrics - Renaissance

Around the world he traveled 

To start the games that he dreamed of, dreamed of 

His biggest triumph lingers 

Will only slip through his fingers 

He wants to feel the crowd 

And be a winner 

Each time he takes the step 

His reason now for living 

Praying silently 

He's running there 

Running faster 

To hear the sheers 

The crowd moves closer 

He's getting near 

A smile displays his victory 

It's only for a moment, a moment 

Towards the sky in wonder 

His mind begins to wander 

The cheers are getting near 

His name he hears 

But he will never fall 

This is really living 

Praying silently 

He's getting near 

His time is here 

The crowd gets closer 

The end is near 

From childhood to manhood 

He didn't seem to care 

He had no time for people 

He had no time to share 

The biggest race of all 

He wants to feel the crowd 

And be a winner 

Each time he takes a step 

His reason is now for living 

Praying silently 

He's running here 

Running faster 

To hear the cheers 

The crowd moves closer 

He's getting near 

He's almost here 

Getting faster 

His time is here 

The crowds move closer 

The end is here
