MP3 
I scrolled through someone's highlight reel last night
And felt that old familiar ache again
Like I was standing still while life was moving
Like I would never catch up, never win
But I've been here before, I know this feeling
And I know it lies, I know it fades
Because the race I'm running has no other lane
There's no one else in mine, and I'm not in theirs
Am I better than I was?
That's the only question that I ask
Did I grow even just a little?
Did I carry something from my past?
If the answer's yes, I'm winning
Quietly without applause
Ahead of me, that's where I'm going
And that's the only race worth running for
I keep this close on the days it gets heavy
When doubt comes in and makes itself at home
I ask myself, "Who were you last winter?
Could you have handled what you're carrying now alone?"
And the answer always catches me off guard
Because I have grown in ways I didn't see
I was so busy watching someone else's race
I almost missed the ground beneath my feet
I repeat this to myself on the days I forget
"You are not behind, you are just on your own road
And your road is enough"
Am I better than I was?
That's the only question that I ask
Did I grow even just a little?
Did I carry something from my past?
If the answer's yes, I'm winning
Quietly without applause
Ahead of me, that's where I'm going
And that's the only race worth running for
