Zed ran fast
But on the day of the race he came in last.
He said, “I ran as hard as I could you see.
Maybe last place is just my destiny.”

Zed don’t give up trying.
You’re gonna do just fine.
You just keep on showing up at the starting line
And one day you may find yourself out in front my friend.
Your race is just beginning.  This is not
The end.

Zoey is Zed’s best friend
But she had to go on a trip far away from him
And Zed said, “Zoey, please don’t leave.  I don’t like this at all you see.
I’m scared you’ll forget me.

Zoey said, “Don’t worry Zed.  Time will fly and then
Before you even know it I’ll be coming back again.
No matter where I may go, you’ll always be my friend
Our story isn’t written.  This is not
The end.



Now Zoey is all alone
Half way around the globe, far from home
She said, “I’m homesick and I miss my friends and it rains here everyday and
I don’t think I’ll ever smile again.”

Zoey just hang in there, things are gonna change
Your world might be upside-down, but it’ll turn again.
Don’t you know brighter days are just around the bend.
Your journey isn’t over.  This is not
The end.

When your days are dark my friend
You just keep holding up your chin
The sun will shine again
Cause this is not the end.
