Play the fool
Lived my life full
At times the fool
So much I saw
Thinking my life was a flaw
Times I did not care
Blissfully unaware
A clock winding down
In time I started to drown
A lot of times I wore a frown
Going from day to day
Not even trying to find an easier way
Live or die
Odds were, no one would care enough to cry
Passing of the light
Life was a fight
I live yet
Good thing I didn't make a bet
May be I will yet live long
My heart is now beating strong
The rest of my years are bonus rounds
To do my best
I have passed all the test
Just need a little rest
So many places to go from here
No fear
Not the end of time
The beginning of a new rhythm
The start of forever
The past I sever
A learning tool
At times I may still play the fool
But life is now mine
To make my star shine
Up to me
Choice is never free
You always have to pay
....Someday..
....Someway...
On to the bonus rounds
Happy sounds
Life begins today
Guide my way
Every day will be my best day
