Empty Card

Numbers called, one by one
Markers poised, but never won
I watch the others jump and cheer
While my card stays blank, year after year

No bingo in the game of life
Just empty squares and silent strife
I keep on playing, day by day
Hoping my numbers come my way

No bingo in the game of life
Just empty squares and silent strife
I keep on playing, day by day
Hoping my numbers come my way

Friends find love, careers take flight
Their cards fill up with dreams so bright
I sit here with my empty space
A lone spectator in this race

No bingo in the game of life
Just empty squares and silent strife
I keep on playing, day by day
Hoping my numbers come my way

No bingo in the game of life
Just empty squares and silent strife
I keep on playing, day by day
Hoping my numbers come my way

No bingo in the game of life
Just empty squares and silent strife
I keep on playing, day by day
Hoping my numbers come my way

As lights dim on this bingo hall
I'll be back to answer the next call
For in this game, there's always hope
That next time, my numbers will elope

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever win
Or if this game's rigged from within
But I can't help but hold on tight
To this card, my future, wrong or right

The caller's voice grows faint and slow
The hall empties, it's time to go
I clutch my card, still pristine, bare
A testament to dreams unfulfilled, yet there
Yet there

No bingo in the game of life
Just empty squares and silent strife
I keep on playing, day by day
Hoping my numbers come my way

As lights dim on this bingo hall
I'll be back to answer the next call
For in this game, there's always hope
That next time, my numbers will elope

As lights dim on this bingo hall
I'll be back to answer the next call
For in this game, there's always hope
That next time, my numbers will elope
