Race for the Prize

The theme is that one should stay within the confines of their abilities, there is only so much on person can do alone. Multiple times in the song it states, "They're just humans." Which is another way of saying that they aren't perfect, and that they don't know everything. Also this song uses reptition saying, "Theirs is to win if it kills them." But at the end it switches to "Theirs is to win it will kill them." This goes with the theme that since they are human, they aren't smart enough and/or they can't live old enough to win the race.
