Obstacles they come and go That's the name of this game you know This life can't be bought nor sold Just play your cards then fold
Take two steps forward, one step back Every time I get on track the light fades to black As the curtain drops back, I still step to my destiny I see it right in front of me, it's in your eyes (I see) Dancin' to the beat and these sweat melodies Ridin' on a breeze, the trees part for me But these sharks still circle through the park
I look to you, it's in my nature since a youth When I ran after you and lights went blue Me and you, you and me I share my heart with ya, you're my family now
Obstacles they come and go That's the name of this game you know This life can't be bought nor sold Just play your cards then fold Can't give back the time you stole The path unravels, the day unfolds This life can't be bought nor sold So play your cards then...
Once upon a time I ran to you, Banned myself to find your wealth Return to the land of truth Found myself all alone as the stars they kissed Still runnin' after you through this wilderness At dawn I tracked snow through back yards and front lawns I'm up late wide awake I'm reborn as day breaks and gets on
To you, it's in my nature since a youth When I ran after you and lights went blue Me and you, you and me I share my heart with ya, you're my family now
Obstacles they come and go That's the name of this game you know This life can't be bought nor sold Just play your cards then fold Can't give back the time you stole The path unravels, the day unfolds This life can't be bought nor sold Just play your cards...
Siftin' through the sand A man is just a man No matter how you fan the flame It all comes out the same In the end you are my friend [x2]
Obstacles they come and go That's the name of this game you know This life can't be bought nor sold Just play your cards then fold Can't give back the time you stole The path unravels, the day unfolds This life can't be bought nor sold Just play your cards then... [x2]
