Your Cards

Verse 1

Life don’t ask you what you want

It just sets the stage

Some are born to open doors

Some must fight their way

You don’t choose the ground you stand on

Or the storms that roll your way

But you choose the way you face them

Every single day

Pre-Chorus

You can doubt it, you can pray

But the next move’s yours to make

Chorus

You can’t change the cards you’re dealt

But you can choose how you play

You can curse the night you got them

Or turn it into your day

It ain’t about the hand you hold

It’s the courage that you show

Every risk, every call

When to rise, when to fall

You can’t change the cards you’re dealt

But you can play them bold

Verse 2

Some get comfort, some get cracks

Some get loss too soon

Some learn strength the hardest way

Under heavier moons

You can wish for someone else’s road

Or walk the one you’re on

Sometimes what looks like losing

Is what makes you strong

Pre-Chorus

It’s not the start, it’s how you stay

Through every twist and sway

Chorus

You can’t change the cards you’re dealt

But you can choose how you play

You can sit there wishing different

Or make a better way

It ain’t about the hand you hold

It’s the fire in your soul

Every bet, every call

Stand up even when you’re small

You can’t change the cards you’re dealt

But you can play them all

Bridge (soft, reflective)

Mountains don’t choose their height

Rivers don’t choose their bends

But they shape the world around them

By the way they run in the end

Final Chorus (lift)

You can’t change the cards you’re dealt

But you can play them smart

Turn a losing streak around

With a steady heart

It ain’t about the luck you get

It’s the strength you bring

Every hand can mean something

When you play like a king

You can’t change the cards you’re dealt…

But you can play the hand.
