Knowing the Game

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This is a song about the brightness in the flame A song I want you all to hear You may be taken down You may be written off It's knowing how to stay the same Knowing how to play the game [Verse 2] I am the eternal optimistic fool You only see before my eyes There is another time There is another way It's knowing how to hold the sign Knowing when to cross the line [Chorus] There's an awful lot of people I should know Most I wouldn't recognize off hand Did you maybe take to running? Did you make it on your own? I've seen it in your eyes Beyond a shadow of a doubt I realize [Verse 3] This is a song about a vision in the night A voice to make you all believe You may be wiser now You may be wondering It's knowing how to hit your stride Knowing when to buy the ride [Verse 4] This is a song about the brightness in the flame A song I hoped you all to hear You may be criticized You may be drifting by It's knowing how to lose the ties Knowing when to fall and rise
