Game of Hearts

By Dolby Dubrow 2003

You set up the stage

That most reflect who you are

The mirror is up

The play about to begin

Setting up the scene

You audition

You give yourself the role of saving grace

Hiding behind your own disgrace

In this play the game of life

You wonder who you are

The reason you went down that road

Was to catch a falling star

If you looked inside yourself

You would have seen

Life is like the game hearts

To avoid being stuck holding the ugly queen

You hope to shoot the moon you do

You never see it coming

You’re dealt the hand of the lowest cards

You just kept on humming

By acquiring all the spades

You hope to win this game

You only come up short

Awareness comes into play

At the moment you realize

You’re holding the ugly queen

She’s about to cost you dearly

You have to make a choice

Although it’s just a game of hearts

You feel discourage you feel dishearted

You were trying to win this hand

Your goal right from the start

The game is to achieve the best for you

Each one in control of his game

The ugly queen is your darkness

Whispering fold-em there is no shame

You know you won this hand

When you pass the ugly queen

Life is about the choice of waking up

Life is about coming clean
