Life is not a horse race
it’s not win, place, or show
some people grab the brass ring
and why we’ll never know
some people seem to always win
and we’ll always wonder how
perhaps that’s why you lost before
because you’re needed now
You can spin the wheel or roll the dice
or leave it up to Fate
but Fate will always trip you up
no matter what you say
some people bend
the rules until they break
to see what the law allows
perhaps that’s why you lost before
because we need you now
Ring them bells
ring them bells
let us hear them chime
ring them bells
ring them bells
you were made for this moment
in time
this moment in time
If you ever needed proof
that this day would come
look outside your window
see what we have done
every color of the rainbow
each race in the crowd
we’re all here because we’ve lost before
that’s why we need you now
that’s why we need you now
