I don’t see very smart people
I see many trying to be who they’re not
I see too many chasing false dreams
Betting and losing what they don’t have
Too many just sitting around
Too many just hoping for the best
It’s the gambler’s very own Hail Mary
Thinking tomorrow won’t be like the rest
Keep away from strangers, she says
They can lead you down the wrong path
They’re often selling a pocketful of mumbles
Not knowing where it ends and how it starts
Enough of going around in circles
Always be aware that karma might strike
Never lose sight of what lies ahead
Keep being inspired
and don’t lose the fight
Don’t forget hope and understanding
Things have always been this way
Maybe we’ve forgotten
how to get around negativity
We’ve been listening to those
who don’t know what else to say
Create your own destiny
It’s the only thing that belongs to you
