Life's just a game and we're all the players
Like one big monopoly with lots of layers
Many of us cheat and many of us lie
To some it seems the only way to get by
And some never realise the beauty of love
They think its something over and above
And some just think life is just a given
And when its through they'll fly up to heaven
That its all just handed to them on a plate
Leaving it all in the hands of a thing called fate
This ain't just like one big poker game
Where the luck is like the chance of fame
And fortune isn't agreed but it ain't denied
How long will it be before you even tried
To make it on your own, you got it in you
Make your own fate, I can see it in you
I know the subject I rhyme is nothing brand new
BUt when you hear what I say you know it rings true
Do it for yourself, and you take that bait
Don't leave it in the hands of a thing called fate
I know we all have that future of something good
And I'll be preaching it till its understood
Get an education, get those honours, get that job
Don't live your one and only life as part of the mob
You get just one chance, you gotta make it stable
I know and you know that each of us is able
It just takes a bit of respect and self-belief
Even if it means sometimes hanging by the skin of our teeth
Life isn't easy, nobody lies and says it ever is
Answer your own questions, be your own quiz
Score top marks, win the round, win your game
Whether you acheive fortune, love, glory or fame
If we all really try, we can all can create
Our own life; not in the hands of a thing called fate.
