The Cards We Play

Life deals its hand, oh, we’re just the players,

Searching for meaning in silent prayers.

The cards you play, they’re never the same,

Each turn a shadow, each win a flame.

Nobody knows the cost of the game,

The laughter, the sorrow, the joy, and the shame.

We’re all just shades in a fleeting display,

Caught in the shuffle, we drift, we stay

And the last card falls, it’s the end of the game,

But who holds the deck, who whispers our name?

The cards you play, they’re never the same,

A bittersweet story in life’s fragile frame.

We play our hearts out, we leave some behind,

The dealer’s unseen, the rules undefined,

Nobody knows the cost of the game,

The laughter, the sorrow, the joy, and the shame!

What if the deck is a mirror of souls,

Reflecting our choices, the parts and the whole?

The cards you play, they’re never the same,

A bittersweet story in life’s fragile frame!

So lay down your aces, your kings and your dreams,

The table of life is not what it seems.

Nobody wins, Nobody! But we all learn to play,

In the quiet of night, we drift and we stay

A joker of hope, a queen lost in time,

A hand full of silence, a heart full of rhyme.

The cards you play, they’re never the same,

A bittersweet story in life’s fragile frame!

Nobody knows the cost of the game,

The laughter, the sorrow, the joy, and the shame.

We’re all just shades in a fleeting display,

Caught in the shuffle, we drift and we stay.

We play our hearts out, we leave some behind,

The dealer’s unseen, the rules undefined,

Nobody knows the cost of the game,

The laughter, the sorrow, the joy, and the shame.

We play our hearts out, we leave some behind,

The dealer’s unseen, the rules undefined,

Nobody knows the cost of the game,

The laughter, the sorrow, the joy, and the shame!

We’re all just shades in a fleeting display,

Caught in the shuffle, we drift - we stay.

The cards you play, they’re never the same,

But they tell our stories in whispers and flame.
