Rules of the Game

rules of the game 1200pxThis song talks about the realization that there are no bad guys. "The hunter and the game are one and the same". When we release our identification with labels (the victim or the perpetrator in this case) we are free to choose love and ultimately creation. The process of moving from survival mode into thriving can feel like a scary, abrupt death, or like jumping off a cliff. And so we must trust and jump, only to realize, that we are flying.

Lyrics

Explain to me
How I release the rules of the game
Oh now I see
There never was someone I should blame

I must learn the rules of the game
The rules of the game
If you want to survive
Even possibly thrive
Take a dive off the cliff
That's the way to arrive
At the rules

Woke up and I prayed for justice
Then I fell asleep
Blinded by the world's hatred
In a haze of peace
Left to my own devices
And I been told that the soul is priceless
The rules of the game ain't fair
Doesn't matter whether or not you like it
Tell me now if god is listening
God ain't listening
Roll the dice
Test your luck
Everyone becomes the victim
Until the day this world is gone
Bring peace to this earthly war
We are living brought the spirit if you feel it then you give it everything you got

Explain to me
Just when to hold and when to let go
Explain to me
How to learn the things I don't know

I must learn the rules of the game
The rules of the game
If you want to survive
Even possibly thrive
Take a dive off the cliff
That's the way to arrive
At the rules of the game
The rules of the game
If you want to survive
Even possibly thrive
Take a dive off the cliff
That's the way to arrive
At the rules
At the rules

The hunter and the game
Are one and the same
That's the new rules of the game
