You had it all from first to last
You won it all when the dice were cast
You held the whole world in your palm
Your stars were lucky, your sea was calm.
You could have been anything at all
Your potential stood a mile tall
Your mind was strong, your talents great
Your wits the equal of any potentate.
But you chose to play, boy,
You chose to play.
You threw all the world away
And chose to play.
You once stood a mile high
You were one heck of a guy
Your life screamed success so loud
None had more cause to be proud.
But you chose to play, boy,
You chose to play.
You threw all the world away
And chose to play.
