MY LIFE IS LIKE A BOARD GAME
YOU KNOW LIKE THE ONE YOU USED TO HAVE AS A KID
AND THE PIECES WERE MISSING
SO YOU WOULD MANIPULATE THE GAME
JUST SO YOU COULD WIN!

BUT YOU BROTHER WOULD ALWAYS QUIT
BECAUSE HE SAID THE GAME WAS NO LONGER FUN
BUT YOUR SISTER WAS JUST HAPPY TO PLAY THE GAME AT ALL
YA MY LIFE IS KIND OF LIKE THAT
EXCEPT!

LIFE KEEPS MANIPULATING THE GAME AGAINST ME
AND IT WONT LET ME WIN
AND IT WONT LET ME PASS GO
AND IT WONT EVEN GIVE ME ONE GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD
AND THAT JUST NOT FAIR!

SO I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT MY MOM TOLD ME
SHE SAYS LIFE ISN’T FAIR
BUT SHE ALSO SAID CHEATERS NEVER WIN
BUT LIFE SEEMS LIFE KEEPS CHEATING ME OUT OF ALL MY WINS
SO I WANT TO QUIT LIKE MY BROTHER!

BUT I CAN’T
BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN MY GAME IS OVER
AND THEIR AREN’T REDOS
OR I’LL PLAY AGAIN TOMORROW
OR EVEN A PAUSE BUTTON

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?
WELL I HAVE TO REMEMBER MY SISTER
I SHOULD BE HAPPY TO GET TO PLAY THIS GAME OF LIFE
WAIT NOT JUST HAPPY
I SHOULD THANK GOD I GET TO PLAY THIS GAME CALLED LIFE





CAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT HAD THERE PIECE ON THE BOARD
AND CAN NO LONGER PROCEED FORWARD
CAUSE LIFE DECIDED THAT THIS IS AS FAR AS THEY CAN GO
BUT YET LIFE STILL LETS ME PUSH FORWARD

THEIR ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT HAD THEIR PIECE ON THE BOARD
AND THEN GOT KNOCKED OFF
BECAUSE LIFE DECIDED THEY PLAYED LONG ENOUGH
BUT YET LIFE DECIDED I STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT NEVER GOT TO PLACE THEIR PIECE ON THE BOARD
BECAUSE LIFE DECIDED THEY DID NOT DESERVE TO PLAY
BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T WORTHY
BUT YET EVEN THOUGH I DON'T FEEL WORTHY LIFE THOUGHT I DID

SO I GUESS I’M GOING TO TAKE MY CHANCES
AND ROLL THE DICE TO KEEP PLAYING
BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN WIN
OR HOW LONG I’LL GET TO PLAY
BUT HOW WILL I UNLESS I TRY.
