Title:
“Racing Against the Clock”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Racing against the clock, [D] don’t know if we’ll make it,
[Em] Running on empty but we [C] can’t stop now.
[G] Old dreams are fading but [D] new ones we are taking,
[Em] Time is a game, but [C] we’re not sure how.
(Chorus)
[G] Racing against the clock, [D] hearts are aching,
[Em] Chasing the seconds, [C] trying to make it count,
[G] The world is spinning, [D] our dreams are shaking,
[Em] But we won’t give up, [C] we’ll stand our ground.
(Verse 2)
[G] The days are passing by, [D] the hands keep on turning,
[Em] We’re standing at crossroads, [C] not knowing where to go.
[G] The fire inside us [D] keeps on burning,
[Em] Fighting against the time, [C] we’ll put up a show.
(Chorus)
[G] Racing against the clock, [D] hearts are aching,
[Em] Chasing the seconds, [C] trying to make it count,
[G] The world is spinning, [D] our dreams are shaking,
[Em] But we won’t give up, [C] we’ll stand our ground.
