THE RACE RUNS ME

It begins, away we go
Settle into our breathing
Soon inside the race
No noise, no flags, no thinking
Breathing, running and breathing
Breathing, running and breathing

Deep inside the race
That’s a place I love to be
Deep inside the race
There is no me

Running as one en song
Running this way I am free
I’m not running the race
The race is running me
Breathing, running and breathing
Breathing, running and breathing

Then the last bell rings
And inside I am burning
All the sorrows and joys
All the losing and winning

When the last bell rings
There is no unringing
When the last bell rings
It's the end of our dreaming

Deep inside the race
That's a place I love to be
Deep inside the race
There is no me

Breathing, running and breathing
Breathing, running and breathing...
