LIFE
If life is a game, let's play;
Let it be win or loose,
Like the fall of a dice,
Fate can't hold the falling,
But Karma can control,
The ending.
I love life lessons,
I love life teachings,
I love life tests,
Trials and tribulations.
Life is fire and ice,
We tremble and burn.
Life is long race,
We run around with no rest,
Before high land we stand,
Before bridges we breathe,
It's hard to choose,
Which bridge to cross,
And which bridge to burn.
Sometimes life is a sea,
Beyond we can't see,
Only high waters in sight,
It's your own risk to swim,
No life guards to rescue.
Oh! Lord I'm longing,
To live long,
In this planet earth.
Dear Lord I beg,
The game is not over,
Let me play.
