Run The Human Race
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We gotta run the human race
Everybody must take part
Win some or lose some
And always listen to your heart
There's just one earth, just one sky
We all gotta live here, 'til the day we die
'Til the final curtain call, when the lights go down
We all have a ride on the merry-go-round
We gotta run the human race
Everybody must take part
Win some or lose some
And always listen to your heart
Jehova, Buddha, Allah, Manitou
No matter who you are and who you're praying to
Don't count the difference, count what binds
You're a link in the chain and a number in line
We gotta run the human race
Everybody must take part
Win some or lose some
And always listen to your heart
Red 'n' yellow, black 'n' white
We gotta work it out, we gotta put things right
Live in happiness, live in peace
Love 'n' understanding, sweet harmony
Money makes the world go round, so the proverb says
And it's nice to have some money, living day by day
But when you die you can't take it up to heaven above
And John Lennon told us "Money can't buy you love"
We gotta run the human race
Everybody must take part
Win some or lose some
And always listen to your heart
