I hold on to it tight
So it doesn’t fly away
The humble rumble of freedom
Destiny at play

My emotions, a chess board
A game I’m not aux fait
Fumbling clumsily
Skin turning grey

Master the game
And I master my life
Move the wrong piece
And I’ve landed in strife

Slow and steady does it
Learn to breathe deep
Silence is a game plan
Bluffing is weak

Every loss is a lesson
New opportunities come fast
Stay in the present
Let go of the past

Know my opponent
Learn how they play
No need to rush here
Nor wish my life away

Master this game

And I’ve mastered my life
