Race to the end lyrics

There is but one freedom
Man running along
Each step that he's taking
A step to his soul
The passion and courage
It takes to be there
The spirit of freedom
Alive in the air

Whenever the running man awakes
To chalenge to glory
He knows he can turn the key once more
To unlock the soul

The way becomes clearer

The way is complete
The need, that of winning
Admit no defeat
The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to fly

Let no man surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
To try to the end
A race to the end

Seasons of love lyrics

Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else

Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all  the memories remain

Ooooooooh, there is nothing there but the silence
cold and lonely silence
everything reminds me of you

Ooooooooh, I close my eyes and see you
In every dream I see you
I could almost reach out for you

Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else

Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain

Ooooooooh, here do I go from here now
And I'll just never know how 
and why I lost the seasons of love
[interlude]

Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else

Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain

oooooooh,
where do I go from here now
And I'll just never know how 
and why I lost the seasons of love

Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
But all the memories remain

Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else
