Up To the Gods
A chance to play the cards life dealt
you hope for once to beat the odds.
Your heart says yes; because it felt
a chance to play the cards life dealt.
You knew a dream, like ice, could melt,
and so it was up to the Gods.
A chance to play the cards life dealt,
you hope, for once, to beat the odds.
