T-Bone Burnett - The Race Is Won Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Lucius ]

The race was on, the end was nigh
The light was gone, the wind was high
The race was on, the end drew nigh
The light was gone, the stakes were high

At the speed of light
Times the speed of light
Day from day, night from night
Out of nowhere and out of sight
Until the race is won

The race was on, the end was nigh
The light was gone, the stakes were high

I can't see the wind
But I can see it shake the trees
And I can't see gravity
But I can see him drop to his knees
She leaned against the wall
The smoke hung in a pall
As he began his fall

The race was on, the end was nigh
The light was gone, the stakes were high
The race was on, the end was nigh
The light was gone, the room was hot

As we witness life emerge
The race is won
Everything that rises must converge
And the race is won
As I look out from behind these bars
The race is won
I can see you in the stars and the race is won

A tendency toward life
A current we cannot escape
An edge sharper than any knife
A shape without shape

The race was on, the end was nigh
The light was gone, the stakes were high
The race was on, the end was nigh
The light was gone, the stakes were high
