If the race is over

What do I do if I'm not chasing anything?
What do I do if I have everything that I need?
It's a question that no one has prepared me to answer.
Where do I go if I'm right where I'm supposed to be?
Where do I go if wherever I am, I am home?
It's a question I'm presently wanting to answer.
If the usual way doesn't work for me now
That's a void I know nothing about.

What if the race is over and we all automatically win?
What if the game is ended long before it even begins?
What if the test has been taken
and we're passing again and again?
If the race is over, what then?
What do I say if it's all perfect anyway?
What do I say if I'm not here to change anyone?
It's a question I truly don't know how to answer.
How do I live if my life is eternity?
How do I live if I am no longer afraid to die?
It's a mystery, no one can give me the answer.
If the usual way doesn't work anymore
There's no map for what life has in store.

What if the race is over and we all automatically win?
What if the game is ended before it even begins ?
What if the test has been taken
And we're passing again and again?

If the race is over, what then?
