[] Life is a [] shell game
Lessons [] lost, lessons [] learned
[]
There will never be a [] time
Like the [] time that is [] now
To [] reach for the [] promise
Of [] melody on the [] bough
Break up the [] silence
Make it [] clear, make it [] last
[] Forgiveness [] given
Break [] away from the [] past

[] See where it takes [] you
