had we some reason for fear or regret
our tears would flow to fill the very sea
still we have not won every race just yet
although we're not permitted to forget
our masters tell us that we'd now be free
had we some reason for fear or regret
our flawless records won't soon be upset
there's always been a call to let things be
still we have not won every race just yet
all of our senses tell us there's a threat
yet we'd succumb and bow and bend the knee
had we some reason for fear or regret
our common sense just will not let us fret
about how far we've fallen from the tree
still we have not won every race just yet
so we have got the sense to see what's set
before us may allow us soon to see
had we some reason for fear or regret
still we have not won every race just yet
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
