about

One of my favorite compositions that starts out with a classical feel, then to a lyrical melody, with a real jazzy jam in the middle. I'll just keep on playing the game with you.

lyrics

The Game
by John Beccia


A man likes to think that he knows what he has
Believin' that he's in control
But as I've grown I've been shown, the changes come fast
And somehow it all comes and goes
Somehow it all comes and goes--

CHORUS Over and over we go
All just the same
Older and older we grow
We just keep on playin' the game
I'll just keep on playin' the game with you

The sadness of loneliness is so hard to take
Spendin' time makin' it through
There's so much to learn now from all our mistakes
And sharin' makes it all new
Sharin' it makes it seem new--
REPEAT CHORUS

Day or night, wrong or right, livin' and dyin'
We need each other right now
The future's in balance, there's no black or white
Can we really ever know how?
Can we really ever know how--?
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS
