The Race We Run

The flag goes down, no turning back, We chase the line around the track. I took the curve a bit too wide, This horse I ride’s not on my side. The crowd is loud, the dust is high, The strongest hearts still question why. We bet on speed, forget the pain, But sometimes fate can change the rein. 🎵 Chorus (catchy, rhythmic, feminine phrasing) It’s the race we run, the lives we chase, One wrong turn, we lose the pace. If the dream was ours to freely choose, We’d all be queens — we’d never lose. I’ve had my luck through nights and days, But fortune loves her twisted ways. She rides with others when I fall, And steals my thunder, takes it all. Yet still I stand, my heart’s still sore, I’ve learned too much to want before. The sky’s on fire, the crowd’s a roar, I’m not the same girl anymore. It’s the race we run, the lives we chase, One wrong turn, we lose the pace. If the dream was ours to freely choose, We’d all be queens — we’d never lose. Hold your breath, don’t look behind, Every fall rewrites your mind. Even when the race is done, The heart still rides, the soul still runs. It’s the race we run, the lives we chase, We rise again, we find our place. If the dream was ours to freely choose, We’d all be queens — we’d never lose.
