The Winning Hand

A change would do you good
Make you feel somewhat better that you do right now
Your minds an open book
Close the pages that made you feel bad and in doubt
It's still half full, like it always should

A change is on the cards
Get a full deck and replace the old ones you had
A string of broken hearts
But you still have one more ace up your sleeve
It's still half full, like it always should

Life's just a poker game that we play
Always winnings always losers that get cast away
Life's just a poker game that we play
Just make sure that you don't waste one more day

A change would do you good
Search through your pockets and maybe you'll find what you lost
You always knew you should
Get rid of those bad thoughts that fill up your mind
It's still half full, like it always should
You still feeling good, throw the bad and negative pages away

Life's just a poker game that we play
Always winnings always losers that get cast away
Life's just a poker game that we play
Just make sure that you don't waste one more day
(but now you know that this could be your lucky day)
