Roll With the punches

Steady as she goes-you just roll with the blows,
where this life leads only heaven knows.
Drifting from dreams to a world much too real,
where your feelings are too hard to conceal.
Angels of seduction running loose in the night,
with visions of a destiny of meeting Mr. Right.
It's life on life's terms so learn how to play,
sometimes you've got to take it day by day.

Roll with the punches and rise up to your feet,
Now is the moment-arise up from the street.
Roll with the punches-life isn't so strange,
when you realize and adjust to the change.

Every night used to be so reckless and loud,
You were always out there running with the crowd.
Looking for the action-for the midnight attraction,
yet somehow you were caught up by distraction.
Running against the stream and living in a dream,
The insanity was enough to make you scream.
You played the silent clown-cried when you were down,
now once again you're out roaming the town.

Roll with the punches-learn how to survive,
never show it all but try to look alive.
Roll with the punches-It's not all peachy keen,
sometimes life can be just a little too mean,
Roll with the punches-you know where you've been.
