Pick a number take a name
It's time to start up a new game
A game that I like to call life
And if you beat the odds
And think you've found your eternal bliss
Rest assured life won't let it stay that way
Not many people make it far
Not many people find success
And if you do just please don't hold your breath
Live in the moment with what you have
Cuz it can go at anyday
And take it from me cuz I've had it snatched away
And when you get a bit older
Out of the house and have some kids
You will see why the game of life is hard
I promise I'm not fearmongering
I'm simply scared you'll never see
The reason why we all cling to our lives
You find a job and pay some bills
Your life is no longer lived for thrills
But never lose touch of the wonder stored inside
Cuz growing up can take a toll
And take the fun out of what we know
So never lose yourself to all that hurts
You see your parents getting old
The people who cared when the world was cold
And turned a shoulder and never gave you help
But your family cared no matter what
And you've got your own to care for now
So live for your family to make your parents proud
And one day when you're at the end
And you reminisce about all your long lost friends
And sigh aloud as you see the light come down
Congratulations you beat the game
You exchanged your life at the hand of fate
And in the time you'll get to start again
You'll get to start again
