I kept rushing to success
unable to mind little things
that are far better important
than what I've always thought.

I raced without pacing,
raced without minding,
raced without looking back,
raced, rushed, raced, rushed.

I hurried too much to achieve success,
hurried, hurried, hurried.

And yes, I'm almost there,
I was almost there,
almost there.

But I rushed too much,
Raced with the time,
Rushed too much,
Unable to notice what's left behind.

And there, I ended up forgetting
what must I bare in mind,
what lessons to look back for,
Unable to notice what's left behind.

Now, I'm here, back again
to the starting line,
Getting more far to success.

And looking in front
I could see many people ahead of me,
These are the people who used
to be chasing me before.

And now, here I am,
Chasing them.
These people who took time
to understand the world,
who took time to know the importance
of life's purposes and true meaning,
The people who patiently understand everything.

Here I am again,
Making a new beginning,
Aiming for success,
But this time, it would be different,
'cause I've learned my lessons well.
