The song evokes a feeling of victory and the lyrics are nothing short of inspirational.
Race, life's a race
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
And I light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
I'll keep up the pace
And I reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I am prepared
To stay alive
And I won't forgive
Vengeance is mine
And I won't give in
Because I choose to thrive
Yeah we're gonna win !
Race, it's a race
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
And will I light the fuse
I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
'Cause I'll keep up the pace
And I reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I'm gonna win !
Fight ! Fight ! Fight ! Fight !
Win ! Win ! Win ! Win !
Yes, I'm gonna win !
