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
