Obstacles they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards and fold,
Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards

I take two steps forward, take one step back, everytime I get on track the light fades to black,
When the curtain drops back and I step to my destiny, I find my freedom right in front of me,
It’s in your eyes I see when we dance to the beat and these sweet melodies, ride in on a breeze, clouds part for me but these sharks still circle through the park,
I look to you, It’s in my nature to listen to you, I ran after you and the lights went blue, Me and you, you and me, share my heart, yo you’re my family

Obstacles they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards and fold,
Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards

Once upon a time, I ran to you, banned myself to find your wealth and return to the land of truth, found myself all alone as the stars they kiss.
Runnin’ after you through this wilderness, At dawn I track snow through backyards, and front lawns, I’m up late, wide awake, I being born as day breaks and gets calm.

I look to you, It’s in my nature to listen to you, I ran after you and the lights went blue, Me and you, you and me, share my heart, yo you’re my family
Chorus:

Siftin’ through the sand, A man is just a man, No matter how you fan the flame it all comes back the same, In the end, you were my friend
Siftin’ through the sand, A man is just a man, No matter how you fan the flame it all comes back the same, In the end, you were my friend

Obstacles they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards and fold,
Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards

Obstacles they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards and fold,
Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds, This life can’t be bought nor sold, just play your cards
