Hard Race

(Album: Between The Lines - 1987)

Feel the fire burning you up
As the challenge grows near
Questions rolling round in your mind
Winning's the word that you fear

Don't say goodbye to all your dreams
Just let the memory go on forever
In your mind

'Cause it's a hard race
You'll never finish a game if you don't play
It's a small claim
Put it all together and fight it while you can

Temperature's rising right to the top
Victory's the word that you miss
You try hard to listen
But you just can't hold back
Reach right ahead and be free, oh

Don't say goodbye to all your dreams
Just let the memory go on forever
In your mind

'Cause it's a hard race
You'll never finish a game if you don't play
It's a small claim
Put it all together and fight it while you can
You've got to ride on through the night
It's just a battle of strength
That you can't hold back till it all breaks
Lay the pressure to it
And the victory you will take

Until it's over
Reach for the stars
And they will follow you where you are
The secret light will shine on you
Over and over and over again

Don't say goodbye to all your dreams
Just let the memory go on forever
In your mind

'Cause it's a hard race
You'll never finish a game if you don't play
It's a small claim
Put it all together and fight it while you can
You've got to ride on through the night
It's just a battle of strength
That you can't hold back till it all breaks
Lay the pressure to it
And the victory you will take
Oh oh oh you will take it
You'll win the fight...
