The race is not to the swift

In a world so cold and loveless, everything seems gray, everything seems dark
People walking down the streets, not caring for the hearts around
I wonder why there's so much injustice, why do so many choose the wrong?
I've sought understanding and wisdom, searched for answers all along

The race is not to the swift, nor to those with silver and gold
For time and chance happen to them all
Set aside your vanities, abandon your pride
Fill yourself with love, the perfect bond of union
Love justice and cherish loyalty
You will thrive, you will survive

In a world where hope seems fleeting, kindness becomes so rare
We forget that love's the answer, the one thing we should share
So let’s break free from our chains, leave behind our selfish ways
Fill our hearts with compassion, let it guide us all our days

The race is not to the swift, nor to those with silver and gold
For time and chance happen to them all
Set aside your vanities, abandon your pride
Fill yourself with love, the perfect bond of union
Love justice and cherish loyalty
You will thrive, you will survive

The race is not to the swift, nor to those with silver and gold
For time and chance happen to them all
Set aside your vanities, abandon your pride
Fill yourself with love, the perfect bond of union
Love justice and cherish loyalty
You will thrive, you will survive
