Win or Lose - Earth, Wind & Fire

I know that I’m afraid of live

The tolls seems very steep

Your goals so uncontrollable

Impossible to keep

Despite the songs of lucky ones

Those very special few

Can’t right the wrongs that often come

No matter what we do

I imagine that the feeling’s close to none

All that passion running rampant sounds like fun

But when the trouble starts

I’ve heard of broken hearts

A hackneyed phrase-but one that I suspect is true

And so I wonder will I win or will I lose

Most come down, familiar ground a safer veiw

No more concerned with if they win or if they lose

The journey must be made

The hand is dealt, it must be played

It comes to all of us, we can’t escape our dues

But I’m still holding back

I want my heart intact

Until the time that I’m unable to refuse

Inconsequential if I stumble up the rocks

or catapulted if I shoot right to the top

When I on love depend

My only question then

…is will I lose or will I win

So I wonder, yes I wonder
