Lyrics
Verse 1
Lately I've found myself thinkin
how the days of my life keep tickin
Like we're all in a games show
Seems everydbody's spinning wheels
Rolling dice and making deals
We're all searching for that happier place
Oh, when will we realize that the treasures in life don't lie
Chorus
In the games that people play in this world
They lead us farther away from you Lord
And if that is our only reward then I turn away
From these games people play
Verse 2
Seems any day on any channel
You can bet there's a brand new scandal
Just guess who it is now
Truth or dare, fame or fuss
I think we should blow the dust off
Of our forgotten golden rule
Oh, we're all having a ball
Watching other around us fall
Chorus
Bridge
Oh the risks we take
Hmmm, gambling with our faith
Knowing Jesus returns someday
Oh the games that people play
They lead us farther away
So I'm turning away
Ad lib tag, Verses over chorus
