Life is a game, it's a   And the only way you can participate in it   Is you have to get involved   With all your heart and soul      Your mind, oh, your mind   Is such a great thing, use it, use it   The positive has to overtake the negative      And no matter what people may say to you   Believe me, you have to get involved   In the game of life   Things don't always go the way you want 'em to   But hang in there      Don't be afraid, no matter what they say   You gotta take a chance at life   And you don't know how far you can go   And you won't know until you try      Set your sights for better things in life   And work for them hard as you can   Patience is key, it always sets you free   It's all about your master plan   People, sometimes      Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   Sometimes some things are so hard to do   Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   Sometimes some things are so hard to do      Make your move, be careful what you chose   You gonna reap what you sow   Make no mistake, you've got what it takes   And all it's gonna take is you      Patience is key, it always sets you free   And you can make it if you try   Don't waste time makin' up your mind   It's your choice, it's your life   Listen to me, people      Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   And sometimes some things are so hard to do   Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   And sometimes some things are so hard to do      They say that the mind   Is a terrible, terrible thing to waste   And so it's time, and it's time   That you made up your mind   About what you wanna do in life      Different strokes for different folks   We're all in this together   And what you have to realize is that   You can't always win and you can't always lose   Just sometimes, sometimes you do      Listen to me, people      Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   And sometimes some things are so hard to do   Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   And sometimes some things are so hard to do      Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose   And sometimes some things are so hard to do   Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
