Do you run a race and stop short of the finish line
Feeling like you gave it your all?
When you feel weak, do you even try?
Do you care if you rise or you fall?

As much as you try
You cannot deny the truth

We've gotta hold on a little bit longer
A little bit stronger... and we'll make it through
We've gotta finish what we began
We're gonna run the race till the very end
We become sidetracked by all these distractions
All these illusions, I'm sure it's confusing your mind
But keep your eyes on the prize
Keep up your pace... we can run the race

We're gonna run this race, give it all that it takes
We'll run with all of our souls
We won't hold back, we'll give it all that we have
To reach the goal

As much as you try
You cannot deny the truth

We've gotta hold on a little bit longer

A little bit stronger... and we'll make it through
We've gotta finish what we began
We're gonna run the race till the very end
We become sidetracked by all these distractions
All these illusions, I'm sure it's confusing your mind
But keep your eyes on the prize
Keep up your pace... we can run the race

Great is thy reward; great is thy reward
Great is thy reward; great is thy reward
Great is thy reward

We've gotta hold on a little bit longer
A little bit stronger... and we'll make it through
We've gotta finish what we began
We're gonna run the race till the very end
We become sidetracked by all these distractions
All these illusions, I'm sure it's confusing your mind
But keep your eyes on the prize
Keep up your pace... we can run the race
