life is a game
I played another game
This game was not tame
The challenge to progress
To avoid all your distress
I looked at my existence
Saw there the same chance
You change a little something
You do not see the same thing
Life and your acts promote you
Bad choices don't see you through
Make the right choices and then
Life only has to decide when
To get you going higher
Progressing forever!
