Life Never Promised
Isn't it funny we're so much the same
Fruit of passions that began with a flame
Love rocked the cradle in our name
Still, life never promised a perfect game
============================
Hope meets the wall in the picture frame
Seen in defiance that living will tame
Cooked the books for our share of shame
Life never promised a perfect game
===========================
A symphony plays the song we became
Chance the backup holding no blame
Fat lady hits the high note to acclaim
Life never promised a perfect game
===========================
The sun cast light without conscious aim
Absence in a choice to bless or inflame
A gift to embrace or curse in defame
Life never promised a perfect game
===========================
Isn't it sad that we're so much the same
Sacrificed the years like martyrs who proclaim
In the end when peace seems the only just claim
Life never promised a perfect game
===========================
