Lyrics
Now the cards are on his table
Needs to stand between good and evil
Hopes his wealth will last forever
It?s fleeting like this very measure
He can?t expect the world to change
He won?t examine his own range
Won?t let himself wonder why
It?s easier to point and cry
Chorus
Fear of a change, it?s easier, no need to force
Yet inside his mind, seeds of strength could change the course
Hope on a wing is only for the mystified
Respond to his voice, and have a chance to rectify
Could seek a course that keeps him humble
Or strike a cause that stops his tremble
Find a peace of mind at core
It?s all there should he explore
Now the cards are off the table
Time to prove he?s not a fable
He wants a worthy point to life
But needs to make the sacrifice
Chorus
Now the cards are off the table
Time to prove he?s not a fable
He wants a worthy point to life
But needs to make the sacrifice
Chorus
