race against time

this is our song

sing it with me children

nobody lives forever

so come on let's have some fun

and i want a happy ending

just like everyone wants one

and life would be sweeter

if we all had somewhere we could run

oh don't you dare tell me what can't be done

they say you don't have to grow up

but you've got to grow older

it only hurts when i laugh

you see

cause i'll always be young

i'll always be young

in my mind

but i'm racing against the time

never mind the mirror in your room

be who you feel

the grounds under your feet

but you won't get there standing still

peak and valley is a promise

but don't you stop until

oh and i'll make it

yes i'll make it

yes i will

had a fight with my father time

about my mother's nature

that makes me destiny's child

cause see i'll always be young

i'll always be young

in my mind

i'm racing against the time

i'm racing against the time

i won't keep any secrets from you

baby

i'm a sinner

and i may have lost your war of words

but hey now i'm still a winer

does wearing your heart on your sleeve really mean

that it is isn't in you?

looking good but you aren't that great of a pretender

when everything is said and done

i'll be alive in my own son

so i'll be there when his son has one

i'll always be young young in my mind

(alright

yea yea yea

na na na

alright

yea yea yea

na na na

alright

yea yea yea

na na na

alright

yea yea yea

na na na)

racing against the time
