Obstacles they come and go

That's the name of this game you know

This life's can't be bought nor sold

Just play your cards and fold

It's like 2 steps forward one step back

Every time I get on track the light fades to black

When the curtain drops back and I step to my destiny

See it right in front of me it's in your eyes

Dancin' to the beat and these sweat melodies ridin' on this breeze, trees part of me

But these sharks keep circle'n in the park

I look to you

It's in my nature since a youth

I ran after you and lights went blue

Me and you, you and me

I share completely my heart, you're my family

Obstacles they come and go

That's the name of this game you know

This life's cn'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...

Once upon a time I ran to you

Banned myself to find your wealth and 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

I ran after you and lights went blue

Me and you, you and me I share my heart with you, you're my family

Obstacles they come and go

That's the name of this game you know

This life's 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 fold

Sift in 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
