The Moody Blues - Tortoise and Hare lyrics

You know he's moving fast
But he's still going slow
He's ahead in the race
And there is 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

Your friends 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
