I Will Win, I Will Lose

In the dreams I dreamed as a child
I lived my life as a king
My days were filled with sunshine
And there was never any pains

I will win, I will lose
I will live my life
I will have to make my way on my own
I will win, I will lose
I will create my own path
I will play the game of life

I've had brief moments of joy
Endless moments of boredom
I've had days full of sunshine
I know what pain is...

I will win, I will lose
I will live my life
I will know how to continue on my own
I will win, I will lose
Now I know my path
But I'll play the game of life on my own

A king, I will certainly not be
And yet, I'll live...

I will win, I will lose
I will have light and shadow
But alone I'll have to go on
I will win, I will lose
My life will be
like a long journey to make

I will win, I will lose
I will live my life
I will have to make my way on my own
I will win, I will lose
Now I know my path...
I will win, I will lose
I will play the game...
I will win, I will lose
But alone...
