Games People Play

Games People Play

The games they play are so real to them
 It's a shame dreams fade & go suddenly dim
 No matter how long they try to pretend
 Sooner or later it comes to an end

 It doesn't seem to matter of ones religion or race
 It's the same the world over, so hard to face
 They just go on thinking there's more to be found
 How do we make our youth aware of the truth

 My wife doesn't love me, my husband is mean
 They still believe the other side is green
 Remembering parents unhappy & bored
 There must be an answer if we search our minds

 Maybe God figured it out and made it this way
 So the greatest love he gave to us all
 Is love for all mankind that never would stray.
