The Race that is Life

Sand is falling

The future's calling

Time is moving day by day

I am chasing

Mostly racing 

So I won't be dragged away

I see others

Sisters, brother

All of them are racing too

But some are walking

Some are mocking

Yet so far by me they have flew

I think are winning

Some even grinning

How did they get there at all

But one by one

They are done

In front of me they start to fall

They are sleeping 

Or just lying, weeping

On the ground through them I run

I realize

Can see it rise

And finally then I see the sun

Up from the ground

I look around

I can see I'm not alone

I see the line

And fall behind

Right past me they all have flown

But I smile

For a while 

And others eyes I meet

Because thats it

I have passed it

Now I have somewhere to rest my feet
