LIFE IS A GAME

OUR LIFE IS LIKE A GAME, YOU PLAY HOW YOU CHOOSE

OUR LIFE IS LIKE A GAME, YOU EITHER WIN OR YOU LOSE

IN THIS GAME YOU DON’T PICK PLAYERS, THE PLAYER IS YOU

BE AWARE THERE WILL BE MANY LEVELS YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH

YOU MAY PASS OR YOU MAY FAIL

BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU MUST PREVAIL

IN SOME LEVELS THERE MAY BE A MOUNTAIN YOU WILL HAVE TO CLIMB

BUT YOU WON’T HAVE ANY TEAMS TO HELP YOU THROUGH YOUR STRIFE

SO BELIEVE YOU CAN PASS AND I PROMISE YOU WON’T FAIL

SO PLAY THE GAME AND PLAY IT WELL

WILL I RISE?

MY HEART IS FILLED WITH HURTFUL STRIFE

WILL I HANDLE THE CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE?

WILL I TAKE MY HANDS AND RISE ABOVE?

WILL I EVER KNOW MY MOTHER’S LOVE?

I CAN SEE THE REFLECTIONS IN MY EYES

WHEN I’M DOWN, WILL I RISE?

WILL I HANDLE THE CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE?

LIKE THE MOUNTAIN I WILL HAVE TO CLIMB

WITHOUT MY MASK, WHERE WILL I HIDE?

WILL I GET OUT OF THE DARKNESS AND SEE THE LIGHT?

WILL I TRY TO BE HAPPY AND BE LIKE EVERYBODY

OR WILL I TRY TO DO MY BEST AND HANDLE LIFE’S TEST?

WILL I CRASH AND REALIZE I’M RECKLESS?

WILL I GO UNDER AND REALIZE I’M BREATHLESS?

WILL I ASK FOR HELP AND REALIZE I’M HELPLESS?

OR WILL I JUST SEARCH FOR HELP AND DON’T KNOW WHERE THE HELP IS?

WILL PEOPLE HURT ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?

WILL I HANDLE THE CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE?

WILL I TAKE MY HANDS AND RISE ABOVE?

WILL I EVER KNOW MY MOTHER’S LOVE?

HAVE YOU EVER

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HURT, ABANDONED, OR BETRAYED?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SO CONFUSED AND YOU COULDN’T THINK STRAIGHT?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LIED TO AND FELT DISAPPOINTED?

HAVE YOU EVER WONDER WHY THINGS DON’T GO AS YOU WANT THEM?

HAVE YOU EVER FELT UP BUT STARTED TO SINK UNDER?

HAVE YOU EVER HAD UNANSWERED QUESTIONS LEAVING YOUR MIND TO PONDER?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN SO MUCH PAIN YOU DIDN’T WANT TO MOVE?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SO SHOCKED YOU DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO?

HAVE YOU HAD SO MANY BAD DAYS YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE CURSED?

IF SO THAN BEFORE YOU THINK ABOUT GIVING UP LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY FIRST

YOUR WEATHER FORECAST WILL BE THUNDER BEFORE THE SUN CAN SHINE

IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND GIVE THINGS TIME

YOU MAY BE ALONE AND DON’T HAVE HELP

BUT JUST TURN TO YOURSELF AND NOBODY ELSE

LIFE IS NOTHING BUT A TEST SO DO YOUR BEST TO PREVAIL

IF YOUR HAVE ANY DOUBT THEN YOU ALREADY FAILED

ANNOY NEGATIVITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO BRING YOU DOWN

IF PEOPLE TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN’T THEN YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE THEM AROUND

WALK AROUND THIS WORLD WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH

RAISE YOUR HANDS UNTIL THEY TOUCH THE SKY

BELIEVE YOU WILL REACH THAT LIGHT

SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

YOUR HEAD SHOULDN’T BE DOWN FOR ANY REASON

YOU’LL HAVE TO PUSH THINGS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE A CLEAR PATH

AND REMEMBER FORGET ABOUT THE PAST AND CONCENTRATE ON WHERE YOU’RE AT

LIFE

LIFE IS LIKE A WINE, IT HAS MANY FLAVORS

LIFE IS LIKE AN HOUR GLASS, YOUR TIME ISN’T FOREVER

LIFE IS LIKE THE WINTER, IT CAN LEAVE YOU COLD

LIFE IS LIKE A DRUNKEN PERSON, IT HAS NO CONTROL

LIFE IS LIKE A GAME, SOME PLAY FOR THE WRONG REASONS

LIFE IS LIKE A DREAM, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

LIFE IS LIKE LIGHTNING, IT COMES AT YOU FAST

LIFE IS LIKE A PLAY, YOU PUT ON THE ACT

LIFE IS LIKE WORK, YOU’RE YOUR OWN BOSS

LIFE IS LIKE A PRICE TAG, IF YOU DO SOMETHING BAD THEN YOU PAY THE COST

LIFE IS LIKE A BLIND DATE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

LIFE IS LIKE A MIRROR, EVERY DAY YOU HAVE TO FACE IT

LIFE IS LIKE A MOVIE, GOD REVIEWS IT

AND WHEN IT’S ALL OVER, HE IS THE FINAL CRITIC

LIFE (PART II)

LIFE IS LIKE A PARTY BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LET ATTEND

LIFE IS LIKE A MOVIE, BE CAREFUL WHO YOU CAST AS YOUR FRIENDS

LIFE IS LIKE A DOOR, PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT

LIFE IS LIKE A CLUE, IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

LIFE IS LIKE A MAZE, YOU’RE TRYING TO FIND YOUR WAY

LIFE IS LIKE A PLAY, YOU ARE CENTER STAGE

LIFE IS LIKE AN OCEAN, YOU EITHER SWIM OR YOU SINK

LIFE IS LIKE A ROAD, IT CAN BE A LITTLE BUMPY

LIFE IS LIKE WEARING A BLINDFOLD; YOU MAY NOT SEE THINGS WHEN IT’S RIGHT IN YOUR FACE

LIFE IS LIKE A STAIN, THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN’T WIPE AWAY

LIFE IS AN HOUR GLASS, WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME

LIFE IS LIKE A MOVIE, EXCEPT YOU CAN’T PRESS REWIND

POOL OF SORROW

I USED TO BELIEVE THAT LIFE HAD NO MEANING

AND IF SOMEONE TOLD ME OTHERWISE

THEY WERE PROBABLY JUST DREAMING

AT NIGHT I COULD NEVER SLEEP, I ALWAYS WOKE UP SCREAMING

I FELT LIKE ANY HAPPINESS I HAD WAS JUST GONE COMPLETELY

I FEEL EMPTY, DOES ANYONE CARE?

NO ONE IS WITH ME, NOBODY’S THERE

I’M ALONE AND FEEL SCARED, WHAT DO I DO?

MY HEART CAN NO LONGER BEAR

I DON’T HAVE ANYONE TO RUN TO

I’M SO LONELY, I DON’T HAVE ANY FRIENDS

THERE’S A POOL OF SORROW AND I’M THINKING ABOUT JUMPING IN

I WOULDN’T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO SWIM OR LET MYSELF OUT

I WANT TO JUST SINK TO THE BOTTOM AND LET MYSELF DROWN

NO ONE WILL NOTICE I’M MISSING BECAUSE I’M DEAD AND I NEVER LIVED

THE ONLY THING I CAN HOPE FOR IS THAT I CAN BE FORGIVEN

AS I’M SITTING THERE WAITING FOR EVERYTHING TO END

I SEE A FLASH OF LIGHT FOLLOWED BY A HAND

WITHOUT THINKING TWICE I REACHED FOR IT AND WAS PULLED TO THE TOP

I FELT ASHAMED I WAS GOING TO ALLOW MY WORLD TO STOP

AS I GLANCED AT THE PERSON I WONDER HOW THIS COULD BE

THE PERSON THAT SAVED ME WAS NO ONE OTHER THAN ME

I SAVED MYSELF I GAVE MYSELF A CHANCE

LIFE IS A DANCE FLOOR AND INSTEAD OF STANDING THERE I DANCED

I JUMPED IN THE POOL OF HOPE AND PROMISED NEVER TO THE POOL OF SORROW AGAIN

PEACE

IF PEACE WAS A PERSON, PEACE WOULDN’T DO ANY WRONG

PEACE WOULD KNOW HOW TO GET ALONG

IF PEACE WAS A PERSON, PEACE WOULD LOVE JUST LIKE ME

AND IMAGINE A BETTER PLACE THIS WORLD WOULD BE

IF PEACE WAS A PERSON, PEACE WOULD BE KIND

THERE WOULDN’T BE ANY VIOLENCE IN THIS TRAGIC TIME

IF PEACE WAS STRENGTH, PEACE WOULD BE STRONG

AND THE WORLD CAN SING A HAPPY SONG

IF PEACE WAS AN EMOTION, PEACE WOULD BE HAPPY AND NEVER CRY

IF PEACE WAS A PERSON, PEACE WOULDN’T DIE

IF PEACE WAS A PERSON, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE

IT WILL BE BETTER THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY

HOW TO COPE

HOW DO YOU COPE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE THE REASON OF SOMEONE’S PAIN?

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR HAPPINESS STARTS TO FADE?

HOW DO YOU REACT WHEN THE ONE YOU LOVE TELLS YOU THAT THEY HATE YOU?

AND THE PEOPLE WHO YOU THOUGHT HAD YOUR BACK ALL OF A SUDDEN WANTS TO FIGHT YOU

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR FRIENDS DISAPPEAR?

HOW DO YOU SEE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR VISION ISN’T CLEAR?

YOU CAN START OFF BY GETTING UP AND NOT SULKING IN
