A Race For Life

A Race for Life We’ve been faced with a time bomb We’ve been faced with this crime We need to act and quickly We’re running out of time Millions of people dying Of this illness every year A world wide epidemic Affecting the far and near Do you really understand How serious it Can be? It’s killing all our people It could be you or me So much money spent each year Just trying to find a cure We’ll not admit defeat That I know for sure It’s just another burden Of which we have to face Just taking over our world Destroying the human race But we will not be beaten Nor give up strength or hope No matter what will show up With what we have to cope We have a war to fight In each and every nation One day we will sing with pride In massive celebration - Jordan McCallum -
