about

“Rat Race” is about resolve and doubt. It doesn’t really matter what confronts you on your way forward – the circumstances, hostile environment or your own inner voice. Your will to press on is what decides the outcome.

lyrics

As I was walking through the valley of the dead,
I heard a voice calling out to me.
It said my life was like a book no one had read,
And there was no way out for me

Still I was walking on without a doubt,
Somehow I knew it soon would end,
Whatever was there waiting up ahead
Beyond the heat and wind and sand


Far from the prying eyes,
Far from the shame,
Far from their poison lies,
Far from their games

Far from the prying eyes,
Far from the shame,
Far from their poison lies,
Far from their games


The voice was calling out to me again,
It said my life was just a waste,
I was a fool and I'm the only one to blame,
My journey's nothing but a rat race


Far from the prying eyes,
Far from the shame,
Far from their poison lies,
Far from their games

Far from the prying eyes,
Far from the shame,
Far from their poison lies,
Far from their games


But I was moving on,
Along the path ahead,
Across the desert sand,
The valley of the dead

Yes, I was moving on
Along the path ahead,
Across the desert sand,
The valley of the dead


There's nothing you have achieved,
There's nothing you'll leave behind,
You'll never find a way out,
You'll find no peace of mind,
There's nothing you can create,
There's no one you'll ever love,
What you only feel is hate,
'Cause you can feel nothing more,
And yet you're still moving on,
You still have not given up,
What's kept you alive for so long?
Why don't you have any doubt?

What's kept you alive for so long..?
Why don't you have any doubt..?
What's kept you alive for so long..?
