The Race is an acoustic ballad that chronicles the lives of racing greyhounds all over the world, from the tracks to their hope of finding their forever homes.

Since the day I was born
I've been running for a living
So put your money down
As I go at it alone

I can't go home
My friends have gone away
Families have come and they've gone
They never stay too long
They go where the wind has blown
Cos they can't go home
I can't go home
Oh, I'm dreaming of a bed
Shades letting in the sun
A place where I can stay
Where I can spend my days
I know it's out there
I had a dream one day
I was running around in circles
And then I jumped so high
That I left everything behind
To find my home
To find my home
Oh, I know it's not too far
The race is almost won
More and more each day
We're finding our way
I'm right behind you
Since the day I was born
I've been dreaming of their faces
And here I am today
Lying face-down in the shade
I'm not running anymore
I'm not running anymore
I found my home
I found my home
