My life’s been a game of hop scotch; I’ve been dancing over the quick sand,
I’ll take my chances now while I’m young, while I still can.
Don’t take it too seriously, life’s a game of make believe,
And if you want it you’ll get it, you’ll see.
Life’s been a game of strip poker, sure hope I’ve got a good hand,
I’ll make the most of it now while I’m young, while I still can,
Take a leap into the bottomless sea; don’t be afraid just cos it’s deep,
If you want it, you’ll get it, you’ll see.
I get the picture now, as the sun’s devoured,
By this lonely place I dwell on,
I’d lost my voice and all my words had gone,
I’d been silent for way too long.
It’s something that I’ve always wanted,
With all my wishing, well I believe in it,
You will not silence me, no
It’s something that I’ve always wanted,
With all my wishing, well I believe in it,
You will not separate,
Introducing my lovely fate.
Life’s a game of give and take and though you take a mouthful,
Still give a hand to the person, who gave it,
Don’t take it too seriously, life’s a game of make believe,
And if you want it you’ll get it, you’ll see.
I get the picture now, as the sun’s devoured,
By this lonely place I dwell on,
I’d lost my voice and all my words had gone,
I’d been silent for way too long.
It’s something that I’ve always wanted,
With all my wishing, well I believe in it,
You will not silence me, no
It’s something that I’ve always wanted,
With all my wishing, well I believe in it,
You will not separate,
Introducing my lovely fate.
With all my wishing, well I believe it (repeat)
