Life's a painful stride
Shameful tears I'll hide
Step by step a limping gait

Mile after mile a faithless state

Stumbling on through thick and thin

Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won
The loser's trail I walk upon


I'm a wayward child
Pure but yet defiled

Day by day a friendless age
Yea rafter year an ageless race


Stumbling on through thick and thin
Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won

The loser's trail I walk upon

Stumbling on through thick and thin

Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won
The loser's trail I walk upon

Stumbling on through thick and thin
Through the shadows and within
The longest race can not be won

The loser's trail I walk upon
