Steven Curtis Chapman - The Human Race lyrics

In a world of winners and losers Some are used, some are the users It's a push and shove race Of trying to get ahead In the dust of all the confusion We make a choice, truth or illusion Will we listen to lies Or hear what the Father says We are running in a human race Where nobody wants to settle for second place But we've got to run it at a different pace 'Cause the first will be last And the last will be first At the end of the human race In a day when values are changing What kind of ground are we really gaining Who are we trying to serve by going the extra mile We can't trade the truth for the fashion We've got to live a life of compa**ion And those we touch are the prize That waits at the finish line We are running in a human race Where nobody wants to settle for second place But we've got to run it at a different pace 'Cause the first will be last And the last will be first At the end of the human race We are running in the human race We must run it at a different pace 'Cause we'll all meet the Father face to face At the finish line of the human race We are running in a human race Where nobody wants to settle for second place But we've got to run it at a different pace 'Cause the first will be last And the last will be first At the end of the human race
