In the chess game of life
Some move with stealth
But the honest souls wear their hearts like wealth
Empty talkers, all noise, no real flair
The truly skilled move silent
Like the midnight air
Crafty minds weave plots
Thick as the night
But the pure in heart shine
Oh so bright
In life's grand tapestry
They stand apart
With wisdom and grace
They play their part
Some talents are shallow
Ambitions run thin
But deceit runs deep
Wearing a sly grin
They play the game dirty
Forget the golden rule
But karma's watching
It's an age-old school
Crafty minds weave plots
Thick as the night
But the pure in heart shine
Oh so bright
In life's grand tapestry
They stand apart
With wisdom and grace
They play their part
Life's a give and take
A balance, a scale
What You sow
You'll reap without fail
Live with kindness
And You'll be under heaven's veil
Evil deeds will find You
Without bail
Crafty minds weave plots
Thick as the night
But the pure in heart shine
Oh so bright
In life's grand tapestry
They stand apart
With wisdom and grace
They play their part
Choose the path of goodness
Let it be Your tale
Spread love and understanding
Let it prevail
Life's transient, unpredictable
Don't You see
When the final curtain falls
Let Your conscience be free
Let go of the burdens
That weigh down Your song
Keep Your heart light
And You'll be strong
Life's too short for worries that prolong
Live with love
And You'll never go wrong
Crafty minds weave plots
Thick as the night
But the pure in heart shine
Oh so bright
In life's grand tapestry
They stand apart
With wisdom and grace
They play their part
Let go of the burdens
That weigh down Your song
Keep Your heart light
And You'll be strong
Life's too short for worries that prolong
Live with love
And You'll never go wrong
