The Game of Life

The game of life, my dear, is a funny one
'Cause there's too many people under the sun
But if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything
It's just a matter of time, a matter of will

Now if you'd like to be happy, you've got to want it real bad
And stay away from those harmful people that make you feel sad
They'll try and take control of you with their bad intentions
You'll have to do what it takes and keep moving on

The game of life, my dear, is a confusing one
So listen carefully, but build your own opinions
Because you see, there's always two sides to a story
And even when you don't agree, you can still show empathy

The game of life is short, no time for anger or hatred
Keep in mind that indifference is your strongest weapon
If you reach deep within, your heart will know the answer
And learning to love is the one thing that really matters

Don't stop dreaming, and don't fear change
But don't think anything will last forever

So learn from the past and live in the now
Enjoy the present moment and keep hope for the future

The game of life, my dear, is a scary one
Full of unsatisfied souls craving for what they don't own
Some need a daily routine to feel safe
Some need adventure to make them feel alive

The game of life is tough so believe in yourself
You can try anything, but never become addicted
You can even grow up, but never grow into an adult
Always preserve the precious child in your heart
