[Verse 1]
The time has come
For me to talk to you
And I don't mean
To hurt your pride
But everybody needs a friend sometimes
To make you see the light

[Chorus]
In the game of life
The strong survive
We're on a one-way street
We got to make it out alive
And never let 'em drag us down
In the game of life
We live and die
Another breath begins
Another chance to win the fight
From the moment that you hit the ground
In the game of life

[Verse 2]
You're born to hunt
And never run away
And then you're hunted
By the prey
The wounded deer
Leaps highest to the sun
Until his day is done

[Chorus]
In the game of life
The strong survive
We're on a one-way street
We got to make it out alive
And never let 'em drag us down
In the game of life
We live and die
Another breath begins
Another chance to win the fight
From the moment that you hit the ground
In the game of life

[Bridge]
Here comes the morning
It's time to play
The game of life
The game of life

[Chorus]
In the game of life
The strong survive
We're on a one-way street
We got to make it out alive
And never let 'em drag us down
In the game of life
We live and die
Another breath begins
Another chance to win the fight
From the moment that you hit the ground
In the game of life
