there's a song of my memories
full of places i have been
its a game meant for losing
i know ill never win
its an uphill kind of battle every single day
its a game meant for losing
but i play it anyway
in a field sweet with nothing
there's a space there we filled
out there in the valley
dreaming on the hill
walking on the river
standing on the stone
the past was just memory
a day done passed and gone
these days its a gamble
but you try as best you can
its a game meant for losing
you know you'll never win
its an uphill kind of battle
every single day
its a game meant for losing
but you play it anyway
theres a poor boy's empty pockets
theres a king's golden crown
its a game meant for losing
but its the only game in town
from big rock candy mountain
to the valley soft and low
the secrets of revival
gotta reap just what you sow
in the field we were children
growing wild in the wind
this game is meant for losing
we know we never win
the song is meant for singing
so i sing it everyday
its a game meant for losing
but i play it anyway
