You always wanna' be the best
It's a struggle without an end 
Running as fast as you can 
But you will never reach your goal 

It's the struggle of our daily life 
Of politics and war 
Everyone here runs so fast 
But never sees the finish 

And suddenly you find yourself 
Running with the red queen 
Through valleys and over hills 
And sometimes against the stream 
And suddenly you realize 
Nothing here is what it seems 
You are beyond the looking glass 
Like Alice and the red queen 

And when you wonder why 
You cannot get to this point 
Cannot finish what you started 
Then you are through the looking glass 

You're far beyond reality 
Or isn't this the real world? 
Where we all struggle and fight 
Without knowing what it's all for
