Life is a boardgame

Ever felt like you’re in a board game
Just a piece in the puzzle with a name
You move forward a space And back some place
But uncertain when it will end.

You’re a piece in the puzzle
One of hundreds around
And once you start playing
For life you are bound

Life is a board game
You end where you start
The piece with a name
Goes out like a light.

One by one the pieces die off
Slowly but surely the game starts to end
You’re that piece in the game
Who died with a name?

For years you’ll be playing
This never ending game
I wonder if things will ever change
Or always remain the same.
