In this race of life, we run like rats From the cradle to the grave, no looking back Caught in a cycle we can't escape Lost in the darkness, we yearn for a break Drifting through days, like ships at sea Wandering souls, longing to be free Burdened hearts, in the shadows we dwell Yearning for hope, a story to tell Every step we take, we leave a trace Run of the rats, caught in this maze Run of the rats, we're lost in the chase Living a life that's hard to embrace Drifting through days, like ships at sea Wandering souls, longing to be free Burdened hearts, in the shadows we dwell Yearning for hope, a story to tell Every step we take, we leave a trace Run of the rats, caught in this maze Run of the rats, we're lost in the chase Living a life that's hard to embrace But in the depths of our despair We find the strength to repair To break these chains that hold us down And rise above, claim our crown Run of the rats, no longer the chase Embracing a life that we now face
