It's Hard

Where life can seem half empty In a sandbox missing sand In this land of plenty It is still full of demands You can follow along the playbook Do the best you can But it's hard to fight what's not right When you're a fighter with no hands You can star in your own movie Play the highlights of your life Show it on the big screen A sensation over night But when it all is said and done I'm sure that you will find It's really hard to convince anyone When you're an actor with no lines You can strike up the band With Rock and Roll the pleasure cruise Have the upper hand In everything you do Find the perfect song Make all of the right moves But it's hard to get the crowd to sing out loud When you're a singer out of tune

The helplessness of life, not having control is well stated here ~ "hard to fight...with no hands". Love it.
