Brandon Kanion - Race Lyrics

So many illusions
In the world we live in
Secrets and tools that
Can bring us all to an end
But yet we're blinded
By the veil they put on us
So many diseases
Afflictions and poverty
Crime and bereavement
Folks done lost their sanity
Kids killing kids and
Yet we choose to go on
And do nothing while it's happening but

We need a hero who's gonna stand up to wrong
One not afraid to show this world what he's made of
So listen to the words
I'm saying to you
If you ain't gonna standup or standout
I'm telling you, you need to

Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
I'm telling you, you need to
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run for your life
Life, life, life, life
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run for your life
Life, life, life, life

For the Race is not given
To the swift nor the strong
But, it is given
To those who endure forever

They call us ugly
So we're lacking integrity
Now we're all plastic
Artificial everything
No education
So we've lost touch with our souls
Who are our neighbors
Seems we can't find a friend
Our hearts are breaking
Over and over again
When will we learn from the
Mistakes of our past
And move on
Come on, come on standup

The music's crazy
And it's blocking our hearts
Numbing our feelings
And insulting our thoughts
They say the music lyes
Deep down inside of you
Well if you ain't gonna sing the Melody to bring us out then shut your mouths
There is a war that's going on in our homes
And on our schools
And on our jobs
And it's a cold one
Please listen to the words
I'm saying to you
If you ain't gonna standup or standout
I'm telling you you need to

Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
I'm telling you, you need to
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run for your life
Life, life, life, life
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run for your life
Life, life, life, life
