The Race

Wake up every morning will it be the same today
Same cup of coffee keeps getting in my way
Wanna do something different wanna win the race
Coz no one wants to live with nothing to their name
Make a livin out of me we'll start from scratch
Across the scene I'll meet my match
I'll seek the world through a different pair of eyes
And I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Maybe they'll never belong but who cares
I heard there's something different out there
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why do we live these lonely lives
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why don't we swallow all our pride
Why don't we try?
Said come with me you said you'll stay
So I'll find a new you who can sweep me away
Is this stupid town isn't holding me back
And I'm try'n, I'm try'n oh
Maybe they'll never belong but who cares
I heard there's something different out there
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why do we live these lonely lives
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why don't we swallow all our pride
Why don't we try?
Let take this chance run as fast as we can oh
Leave it behind for a simple life
Leave it behind for a simple life
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why do we live these lonely lives
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why don't we swallow all our pride
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why do we live these lonely lives
Why don't we sing why don't we try
Why don't we swallow all our pride
Why don't we try?
