Human Race
Racing Against Shadows: Finding Freedom Amidst Life's Storms
Lyrics
I can see it on the road ahead
I can see challenges or obstacles in the future.
Running hard, I'm here
I am putting in significant effort and commitment.
I could be there instead
There are alternative paths I could have taken.
Many houses with the lights on
Observing many homes with signs of life.
Silhouettes behind the shades
People are present but not fully revealed.
Beside fires
By fires, possibly indicating warmth or connection.
I'm sure that I saw you in one
Recalling seeing someone in a particular moment.
I loved you but
Expressing past affection.
That was way back then
Love was in the past, not the present.
Now I'm alone outside
Feeling isolated and exposed to the elements.
And I face the wind
Facing challenges head-on.
The rain washes me thin
Rain symbolizing a cleansing or difficult experience.
Knocked me down and I got back up
Overcoming adversity and getting back up.
And I got myself back in the race again
Rejoining a competitive or challenging situation.
Knock me down and I'll get back up
Resilience in the face of setbacks.
And I'll get myself
Commitment to participating again.
Back in the race again
Race through the shadows
Racing through difficulties or challenges.
Race against stone
Fighting against unyielding obstacles.
The sunken city
Feeling lost in a city that was once familiar.
That I thought was my own
A new world may seem promising but doesn't feel like home.
Might be a brave new world
But it's really not my home
Expressing displacement and lack of belonging.
Roll over, fall in
Rolling over, surrendering, and falling in.
"My God," I screamed
An exclamation of shock or distress.
They might catch them
The possibility of others being caught but not oneself.
But they won't catch me
Claiming to be clean and free from wrongdoing.
I'm out here clean
Embracing freedom despite external circumstances.
And I'm free, yes, I'm free
Knocked me down and I got back up
Repeating the theme of overcoming challenges.
And I got myself
Returning to the competition or struggle.
Back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
Continuing to stand strong after being knocked down.
And I'll get myself
Committing to rejoin the race again.
Back in the race again
Knocked me down and I got back up
Resilience and determination after setbacks.
And I got myself
Returning to the challenge with renewed strength.
Back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
Recovering and pushing forward after being knocked down.
And I'll get myself
Committing to continue the struggle and competition.
Back in the race again
