Lyrics
Race Life's a race But I'm gonna win Yes, I'm gonna win And I'll light the fuse And I'll never lose And I choose to survive Whatever it takes You won't pull ahead I'll keep up the pace And I'll reveal my strength To the whole human race Yes, I am prepared To stay alive I won't forgive Vengeance is mine And I won't give in Because I choose to thrive Yeah, we're gonna win Race It's a race But I'm gonna win Yes, I'm gonna win And I will light the fuse And I'll never lose And I choose to survive Whatever it takes You won't pull ahead Cause I'll keep up the pace And I'll reveal my strength To the whole human race Yes, I'm gonna win Yes, I'm gonna win
