Life's a game with a playful hound If you chase too fast, you won't be found
Patience like a soft, steady sound Let it come to you, don't push around
I ran through fields with hands wide open But dreams slip by like words unspoken
You give, you pull, you fight to play And still it fades and runs away
The harder I push, the quicker it flee Like leaves in a storm, lost to the breeze
And there it was, the quiet cue You want it near, let it come to you
Na na ha na na
Life's a game with a playful hound If you chase too fast, you won't be found
Patience like a soft, steady sound Let it come to you, don't push around
So I learn to sit to toss a crumb Watch the wind stay calm and numb
In giving less, I gain much more Doors unlocked without force or war
A dog of life with a wandering stride Circling back to sit beside
Not bought, not bound, but freely near A prize that only waits when clear
And sometimes it'll bark, tug, hard Lead you to places you disregard
But follow slow with open hand And watch it guide through unmapped lands
Every chase ends where it began Just a heartbeat's pace from where you stand
The trick, my friend, is to breathe and stay Watch life unfold, let it find its way
Na na ba ba da oh ah ha, na na na na na
Life's a game with a playful hound If you chase too fast, you won't be found
Patience like a soft, steady sound Let it come to you, don't push around
So here I sit with calm in sight Knowing now that less is right
What runs for me, I let it go And what returns, I hold close, slow
So here I sit with calm in sight Knowing now that less is right
What runs for me, I let it go And what returns, I hold close, slow
