Our carefree years are now a long way behind

Though a shy spark of youth still brings light to our desperate lives

The sense of danger so often fails

But just a short break's gonna bring our dreams to an end

We're on the race with reality

And no one cares if we lose or win

We're on the race with reality

Don't you know what I mean

It's the race

Race with reality

It's the race

Our stepmother homeland keeps holding us tight

We then used to love her but she never replied

We're hiding in shadows of fictitious worlds

And making faint steps again on the road that's so curved

We're on the race with reality

And no one cares if we lose or win

We're on the race with reality

Don't you know what I mean

It's the race

Race with reality

It's the race

Our carefree years are now a long way behind

Though a shy spark of youth still brings light to our desperate lives

The sense of danger so often fails

But just a short break's gonna bring our dreams to an end

We're on the race with reality

And no one cares if we lose or win

We're on the race with reality

Don't you know what I mean

It's the race

Race with reality

It's the race

Never-ending race
