Life is dog

Life's a game with a playful hound If you chase too fast, you won't be found Patience like a soft, steady sound Let it come to you, don't push around I ran through fields with hands wide open But dreams slip by like words unspoken You give, you pull, you fight to play And still it fades and runs away The harder I push, the quicker it flee Like leaves in a storm, lost to the breeze And there it was, the quiet cue You want it near, let it come to you Na na ha na na Life's a game with a playful hound If you chase too fast, you won't be found Patience like a soft, steady sound Let it come to you, don't push around So I learn to sit to toss a crumb Watch the wind stay calm and numb In giving less, I gain much more Doors unlocked without force or war A dog of life with a wandering stride Circling back to sit beside Not bought, not bound, but freely near A prize that only waits when clear And sometimes it'll bark, tug, hard Lead you to places you disregard But follow slow with open hand And watch it guide through unmapped lands Every chase ends where it began Just a heartbeat's pace from where you stand The trick, my friend, is to breathe and stay Watch life unfold, let it find its way Na na ba ba da oh ah ha, na na na na na Life's a game with a playful hound If you chase too fast, you won't be found Patience like a soft, steady sound Let it come to you, don't push around So here I sit with calm in sight Knowing now that less is right What runs for me, I let it go And what returns, I hold close, slow So here I sit with calm in sight Knowing now that less is right What runs for me, I let it go And what returns, I hold close, slow
