The Darksiders - Losing To A Rabbit By A Hare Lyrics

On a forest trail
A race was set to go
Hare was quick and proud
Tortoise steady, slow.
Crowds had gathered 'round
To see the famous test
Would speed or patience win
Which one would be the best
Hare said with a grin
This race is mine to win
I'll take my time and rest
The tortoise won't begin
Tortoise kept on moving
Hope in his heart so strong
Every step a testament
To keep him moving on.
Hare took breaks along
Sure he'd secure the prize
Tortoise never wavered
Determined in his eyes
Hills and valleys crossed
The quest was tough and long
Both driven by their will
To prove they could be strong
Finish line was closer
Hare began to run
With a burst of speed
He thought the race was done
Tortoise pushed with might
Heart pounding in his chest
Two rivals neck and neck
Each one giving their best
In the end, it wasn't speed
That won the race that day
Fate would play a hand
In a close and thrilling way
Just as tortoise thought
His chance had come at last
He stumbled on a pebble
And tumbled falling fast
Onto his back the tortoise flipped, motionless with victory there
The crowd was shocked to see him lose to a rabbit by a hare
So here's to every underdog
Fighting against the odds
Knowing in the end
It's more than just applause
Journey and the effort
Courage to compare
Even if you're losing
To a rabbit by a hare
A hare
