Life starts Life comes Life passes Life stops Some care Some don't Some live Some won't Lucky to know you are Unlucky to feel the pain Lucky to say goodbye Unlucky to see the pain This way That way Does it matter? It's coming Open your eyes Open your heart And bow down To the unseen coach He umpires the game No winners No losers Batters up Caught first strike Caught first base Home plate in sight There he waits So play on Do your best The teams been picked Just don't play first Play last See the others go Feel the loneliness As you go without a cheer Be it with a bang Be it with a whimper Be it with courage Do it with dignity.
