It's not a competition,
This life that we all lead,
It makes no difference what goals we have,
Or how many kids we breed,

Material things don't matter,
Neither do homes or car,
Nights out, friends or social stance,
What others see from afar,

It's not how much you do each day,
How great you are for worth,
Underneath we are all naked and new,
Just as our day of birth,

I don't think that you get it,
I don't think that you know,
It's kindness that brings happiness,
No matter where you go,

So stop and think a minute,
Relax and take a breath,
Coz underneath we're naked,
And not discriminated by death,

It's not a competition,
This life that we all face,
It's not how fast you walk or run,
This life is not a race,
