I Made It Through It All

theres a game that life plays 
i would like to take some time 
to reveal the shadows of deceit 
and the wasted years many place in there way
i tried to be a simple man 
i tried to stay away 
but the fall was close at hand 
and like most i fell 
but unlike most i stood back up to face the day 
to solider on and die a hero of the people
