LIFE


Too many Fools in this world, know just how I feel You take things for granted when they are not real You lay your cards on the table you play your best hand But when your hand is empty you try to make a stand But there is always a joker in every single pack You commit yourself to the game there is no looking back So you try to bluff your way through it with your poker face But be very careful if you want to win the race Put your best foot forward there can be no holding back Give everything you possibly can to keep your life on track Life is a struggle a never ending downward slope If you want to win this race all you need is hope Too much in life is taken for granted that much I know If you really want to be a winner then you have to give it a go Nobody can do it for you, You have to give it your very best If you don’t you will fall by the wayside and be just like the rest Life is not a rehearsal you only ever get one shot So try to do your best give it all that you have got There are no second chances there is no going back Life doesn’t go both ways it’s only a one way track Life waits for no man before you know it,it has gone But the circle keeps on turning life still has to go on So make your mark on life while you still can Stand up and be counted show them you’re a man
