You work at something as hard as you can
and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
When you lose, but you’ve given it your sll
Well, that hurts, no doubt about it
Fate doesn’t care hpw hard you’ve tried
your friends might or your loved ones
but fate, blind fate, doesn’t care
It may not be fair, the stakes may be high
fate doesn’t care how hard you’ve tried
Now don’t pretend it doesn’t hurt
to lose something precious to your heart
Keep it real, as they say
Sometimes you must dig down into the pain
Sometimes you must stand out into a in the bitter
in te bitter, in the bitter cold rain
Don’t get lost in the pie in the sky
Face your heartache, straight up
Don’t be a phony
You know people always know
wen you’re playing a game
People always know
but more important,
you know
and it prevents your growth
into a better human being
with more to create
and more to give
Deep in the mountains
you will have a reason to live
sharing what you know
have come to know through hard knocks
sitting at the fire with other distant travelers
sharing whatever wisdom you’ve gained
over the many years, trough many trials
sometimes trying as hard as you can
but losing anyway
