A board stretched out in front of you
So many moves you could make
Do you move the pawn a step forward?
Or lead the charge with your left rook?
The truth is, many go forth at full force
But seldom does one ever win like that
The beauty of a game like this is you can take a step back
And when you fall, when checkmate comes
Trace back your steps, don't look straight below
Because problems aren't about where you fall
They're about where you slip, where you lost it all
Each battle is won before it's moves are fought
Such is this game, and this game is life
