Shyft - Just Play

from Gray by Red Ankh

lyrics

Life's a game
To keep us entertained
Get ready
And play

There are a few rules
There are many levels
But you can make your own
Choose your own

They change as you move
And as time goes on
And a few
Stay the same

But like I said
Before
You can
Shift it

~Though creating your own rules
Isn't so easily done
And playing by them
Isn't always fun

And making your own game
Is harder than it seems
But oh how much better it is
~Than playing the drone in this one

Life's a game
To keep us entertained
Straighten your aim
And play

Yes you can
Also choose
Who you are
Who you want to be

It's not as simple
As whom you are
It's what you do
And how you play as well

And will others join
On your side
Or will they
Oppose you

~Will there be alliance
Or just defiance
Or dreadful reliance
On the players by your side

Will they betray you
Or will they aid you
Maybe there's no use in calling them
~For the chances they create

Life's a game
To keep us entertained
Calm down
And play

Just have some fun
Some happiness
It's just
A game

You may win
Or lose but play well
Or fail
At every attempt

Like I said
Before
It is
Difficult

~So then would it be all wasted
Will this game come to be hated
Wondering why someone won't change it
You can

But what are you to do
With the circumstances in front of you
To make it right or better
~Than what it is

~Though creating your own rules
Isn't so easily done
And playing by them
Isn't always fun

And making your own game
Is harder than it seems
But oh how much better it is
~Than playing the drone in this one

Life's in flames
On rough terrain
Stop worrying
And live

Make some changes
Make mistakes
But always
Try again

~If in the game you're playing
The meaning is fading
Then bend some rules and play
A different game

And if that one is useless
Or is happiness-less
It's time to bend some rules and play
~A new game
