The rat race of life
Full of uncertainty
Fulcrum on hope
Leveraged on faith

Sighted we are
Yet blind in tomorrow
Where we are from
We do not know
Where we are going
We no not not

Yet we must run
Wake up and run
Run harder harder
Run faster faster

The closer we are
The further the journey
Getting to assume destination
Only to know is for a short rest

We say nothing in life
So what do man keep aiming at
At something which is nothing
Or at nothing which is something
Yet we must aim and aim harder

We run,we run run
We aim we aim aim
From ***** cell
Into adulthood
We keep running
Keep running faster
Yet life is nothing

The distance look short
Yet is as if it can't be covered
Nobody ever finish it
Except the it's finished on the cross
Looking at life requires wisdom
Living it requires more wisdom

Even at the distant end
Life is still a rat race
We keep running
Not knowing where to
We keep aiming
Not knowing at what

Life is a rat race
We must race like rats
We must rat in the race
Until we reach something
Which is nothing..
