Relay Lyrics

Relay

You come into the world and the race begins

You're moving with increasing speed

You learn that others can run too

And you won't accept defeat

Winning becomes obsession

Those that were friends are now foes

You break the tape at the finish line

But you find yourself alone.

It's not about the speed

It's not about the fastest time

There is no first place

There is just a finish line

We are not opponents

We're not on opposing sides

Let's make this race a relay

And together win the prize

There's no head start in the race of life

Here and gone at different times

Heaven is our destination

Eternal life, the finish line

So, lift up those around you

Encourage and pass the baton

Soon your life comes to an end

But you helped the race move on

It's not about the speed

It's not about the fastest time

There is no first place

There is just a finish line

We are not opponents

We're not on opposing sides

Let's make this race a relay

And together win the prize
