[Spoken Intro]

Life is a game itself

And the only way you can participate in it

Is you have to get involved

With all your heart and soul

Your mind

Oh, your mind is such a great thing - use it, use it

The positive has to overtake the negative

And no matter what people may say to you

Believe me, you have to get involved

In the game of life

Things don't always go the way you want 'em to

But, hang in there

[Verse 1]

Don't be afraid, no matter what they say

You gotta take a chance at life

And you don't know how far you can go

And you won't know until you try

Set your sights for better things in life

And work for them hard as you can

Patience is key, it always sets you free

It's all about your master plan

People, sometimes

[Chorus]

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Sometimes some things are so hard to do

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Sometimes some things are so hard to do

[Verse 2]

Make your move, be careful what you choose

You're gonna reap what you sow

Make no mistake, you've got what it takes

And all it's gonna take is you

Patience is key, it always sets you free

And you can make it if you try

Don't waste time making up your mind

It's your choice, it's your life

Listen to me, people

[Chorus]

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And sometimes some things are so hard to do

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And sometimes some things are so hard to do

[Spoken]

They say that the mind

Is a terrible, terrible thing to waste

And so it's time

And it's time that you made up your mind

About what you wanna do in life

Different strokes for different folks

We're all in this together

And what you have to realize is that

You can't always win and you can't always lose

Just sometimes, sometimes you do

[Instrumental Break]

Listen to me, people

[Chorus]

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And sometimes some things are so hard to do

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And sometimes some things are so hard to do

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And sometimes some things are so hard to do

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
