CeeLo Green - Race Against Time lyrics

This is our song Sing it with me children Nobody lives forever So come on let's have some fun And I want a happy ending Just like everyone wants one And life would be sweeter If we all had somewhere we could run Oh don't you dare tell me what can't be done They say you don't have to grow up But you've got to grow older It only hurts when I laugh You see 'Cause I'll always be young, I'll always be young In my mind But I'm racing against the time (alright, yea yea yea, na na na, yea yea yea) Never mind the mirror in your room Be who you feel The grounds under your feet But you won't get there standing still Peak and valley is a promise But don't you stop until Oh and I'll make it, yes I'll make it, yes I will Had a fight with my father time About my mother's nature That makes me destiny's child Cause see I'll always be young, I'll always be young In my mind I'm racing against the time (alright, yea yea yea, na na na, yea yea yea) I'm racing against the time (alright, yea yea yea, na na na) I won't keep any secrets from you, baby I'm a sinner (Alright) And I may have lost your war of words But hey now I'm still a winer Does wearing your heart on your sleeve really mean That it is isn't in you? Looking good but you aren't that great of a pretender When everything is said and done I'll be alive in my own son SO I'll be there when his son has one I'll always be young young in my mind (alright, yea yea yea, na na na Alright, yea yea yea, na na na Alright, yea yea yea, na na na Alright, yea yea yea, na na na) Racing against the time
