Rise Out
2nd Edition

  The Meaning of Life  

The meaning of life
Is hard to define
It’s something that’ll come to us
With the passing of time  

Oh let the wise men
Say what they may
They’re just another pawn
In this game we play  

This game called life  

We’re all born into this world
Onto this earth
We are hurled  

We get through our youngest days
They’re all just fun and games
Then we’re hit with a rule:
"You have to go to school."  

Some will like it
And some will loathe it
Each grade’s just a reprise
But what we should all realize
Is that we need it  

You can have the whole world
At your feet
Or wind up on the street  

You may become a millionare
But you’ll still lose your hair
Or you may become a beggar
But it doesn’t matter
Because we’re all in this together
No matter what they say
You’re just another pawn
In this game we play  

This game called life  

Then you’ll graduate
And get a job
Be a perfectionist
Or become a slob
But we’re all one big one mob  

Because no matter what games we play
Everyone will have their say
After all
We’re just a bunch of pawns
In this game we play  

This game called life  

After college you’ll settle down
Back in your hometown
Get a spouse
And buy a house
Yeah, you’ll make some money
And write out some checks
Some for real, some hot
But it matters not
Because no matter how much they pay
You’ll still a pawn In this game we play  

This game called life  

You’ll be on this earth
For a period of time
Some of it you’ll enjoy
And some of it you won’t
It’s just a fine line  

We were all born into this world
And we all must leave
Life and death
Put you to the test
And it’s question goes:
What is the meaning of life?
Nobody knows
