Raising Awareness Through Music
After learning about the brutal practice of American horses being slaughtered for human consumption overseas, Lopez (WAMI Nominee Songwriter/Producer of the Year) continues her campaign in quest of raising public awareness for The Equine Cruelty Prevention Act with “Racing For Time”.
“Racing For Time”, tells the sad story of a racehorse who loses his best friend to slaughter only because he couldn't run fast enough to win races. He quickly realized with fear that he also may be running for his life.
“Racing For Time”, written and produced by Lopez, features Ronnie Nyles, 3 time WAMI Award winning vocalist and the 2008 recipient of the Adult/Contemporary Artist of the year and The Peoples Choice award has toured around the globe and throughout the Midwest, with her Etheridge-like voice and a performing style all her own.
Racing For Time
When He was born
He thought that he was loved
And Jessie… was my friend.
I learned the truth
While, still in my youth
That Jessie… was dead.
And now I fear, that the end for me is near
Oh Jessie (Jessie) it’s so clear….
Time, Time, I’m racing for Time
Second by second, my life is on the line
Time Time… I’m racing for time…
Time Time, I’m racing for time
The odds are stacked against me
To cross the finish-line.
Time, Time, I’m racing for time.
The story goes
Oh Little Jessie was not bold
Never strong enough to race
When they took him away
He was so afraid that day
I heard Jessie was on his knees…
And now I see, just how cruel the world can be
Oh Jessie, I can’t breathe….
Time, Time, I’m racing for Time
Second by second, my life is on the line
Time Time… I’m racing for time
Time Time, I’m racing for time
The odds are stacked against me
To cross the finish- line.
Time, Time, I’m racing for time.
Oh Jessie…do you think they could have cared that much…
oh Jessie…do you think they could have cared that much?
I do miss you.
Time, Time, I’m racing for Time
Second by second, my life is on the line
Time Time… I’m racing for time…
Time Time, I’m racing for time
The odds are stacked against me
To cross the finish- line.
Time, Time, I’m racing for time.
