Afraid of running not fast enough.
Afraid of being not strong enough.
Afraid of losing the right line.
Afraid of being not on time.
The speed of life kicks me out there.
No one may ask: Is this really fair?
And the river's silver tongue speaks:
Let my water clear your fears
that rule your most weeks.
Don't give up yourself
it's never too late,
hope is deep within your heart,
but hard to create.
I try to do it just my way.
I try to fight every single day.
I try to find out how I can win.
This deadly speed is life's worst sin.
Deadly speed, deadly speed…
Refrain ...
Deadly speed, deadly speed,
deadly speed…
I try to do it just my way.
I try to fight every single day.
I try to find out how I can win.
This deadly speed is life's worst sin.
