Cards of Life

[Verse 1] With every card I play, they reveal their chest, Not just the heart that beats within the breast, But the secrets they've kept so deeply suppressed. In this game of life, I've become quite adept, Navigating through lies, promises unkept. [Pre-Chorus] I read their faces, the subtlest of gesture, In every opponent, I face a new tester. With every move, I calculate the risk, In this poker game of life, it's hit or miss. [Chorus] I'm the dealer in this round, the stakes are high, But I play my hand steady, under the sky. For every loss, there's a lesson to be learned, With every win, a new respect is earned. [Verse 2] I'll keep playing, keep laying down my bet, In this game of life, I'm not done yet. With every card I play, they reveal their chest, Not just the heart that beats within the breast. [Bridge] And every victory, a story to confess, A testament to my resolve, nothing less. I've learned to play it cool, keep emotions in check, For in this game, it's about the intellect. [Verse 3] I shuffle the deck, the cards slide and glide, Each one a decision, a potential divide. I've got the ace up my sleeve, ready to deploy, In this life's game, I'm not just a boy. [Chorus] I'm a strategist, a thinker, a player so keen, With every card I play, the future's unseen. But I trust in my skills, my ability to adapt, For in this game of life, I'm thoroughly mapped. [Outro] So I'll keep on playing, through triumph and strife, For each card I lay down, is a slice of life. With every card I play, they reveal their chest, Not just the heart that beats within the breast.
