You know he's moving fast,
But he's still going slow,
He's ahead in the race,
And there's not far to go,
And your load is so heavy
And your legs want to rest.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
You think he's way up front
But he's so far behind.
He's asleep in the grass,
And he's run out of time.
While your load was so heavy
You never wanted to stop.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while,
While you were sleeping
He went on keeping the final line in his mind.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
