Roll the dice, raise the ante
and so what if the stakes are high?
Play the game.

Throw caution to the winds
go, go, go!
play it for double or quits.

The odds are heavy
the deck stacked against you
and yet, what else is there to do?

There’s an ace in the hole-
the one you do not know about
there comes the sucker punch!

Knocks you cold, sends you reeling
you might be down-
but not out.

Rise my friend, keep coming up
keep playing,
for – this is the game of life
the worst is over…
or yet to be?

Whichever, but play the game.
