this is my race
it is my struggle
and my battle
it’s my life to fight
I don’t know if I’ll win it,
but I’m in it

this is my race
the constant need
to understand
the world’s demands
to know my challenges
and meet them when I can
to conquer, to live
to take, to give
the race of the world
is being run by this girl
I don’t know if I’ll win it,
but I’m in it

this is my race
it is my duty, my right,
my privilege, my life
it’s my game
when I don my shoes to play
and I’ll play my best
never stop to rest
my world, my day, my race
I don’t know if I’ll win it,
but I’m in it

this is my race
it makes me bleed
it makes me cry
I feel like I’m falling behind
no matter how hard I try
I can’t breathe
I can’t see
I don’t know where I’m going
or what’s going to happen to me
some days I want to stop
when I’ve been going full-speed,
feeling like I’m going to drop
but I keep going
only knowing that this is my race to run
and I don’t know if I’ll win it
but I sure as hell am in it

this is my race
