The Race
THE RACE
words and music by Neal Katz
There's a race
For my soul
There's a race
Each morning
A race between God and Man
If man wins
The alarm buzzes
I awake
Not fully rested
Dreary-eyed, tired, and soul-less
If God wins
The sunlight hits me
And I awake
So gently
In silence, with a sense of calm
I wake with no buttons to push
I may not even know the time
So I awake
Say Modeh Ani
Thank You God
For returning to me
My soul which You guarded while I slept
There's a race
For my soul
There's a race
Each morning
This morning, in Jerusalem, God won
