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 the 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 to know what I want Is not so hard to touch It just looks that way Because I want it so much That I can taste it And I'm not gonna waste a minutes more time (That's all right 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 The race is on The race is on The race is on and I don't want to go
