One Race

One race One race Would you rather go fast alone or go further together Our whole life Is one race When you see the checkered flag Take off, let go of the pressure A signal intercepted from outer space With unknown beings we began to interface The coded message was easily decrypted And our burdensome hearts were suddenly uplifted All they’ve perceived is just one race From a distant planet across inner-space Living in harmony and interconnected No separation nor subjugation detected One race One race Would you rather go fast alone or go further together Our whole life Is one race When you see the checkered flag Take off, let go of the pressure The continental divide, the oceans erased And all of mankind’s beauty was interlaced Hand in hand, as one family, we reflected All sentient life is profoundly respected And in our mind’s eye in introspection Realized we’re one people in retrospection And that signal we thought was from another world Was our own humanity screaming to be heard One race (One race) One race (One race) Would you rather go fast alone or go further together Our whole life (Our whole life) Is one race (one race) When you see the checkered flag Take off, let go of the pressure (let go of the pressure) All they’ve perceived is just one race From a distant planet across inner-space And that signal we thought was from another world Was our own humanity screaming to be heard Oh oh ohhh There’s only one race (Our whole life) Don’t want to go fast alone, no (Is one race) Our whole life Is one race (One race) Oh oh ohhh
