ACES ARE THE MOLDERS OF PLAY

.......................


ACES ARE THE MOLDERS OF PLAY




We "poke-our” selves out of our sleep
anti-up for a brave new day
shake the sleep out of our eyes
gettin-up and ready to play

I've dealt the cards I’m playing
The dealers been kind to me
my suits are pressed for battle
betting on the cards to be.

The shuffle doesn’t have to mix you up
the losses, you keep them real
fate is a players worst enemy
your luck is in what you deal

Your hand is the hand that you've dealt yourself
Your cards are your own clay
victims are the folders of this universe
Aces are the molders of play

When you’ve played the game of showdown
and your cards have been truly seen
your bluffing ways are over
your play has been redeemed

The chips may fall where they may
the player knows where and when
the quitter fears their coming-
he’s hiding in his stacked up sin.

The game is as big as you are
your deal can increase your span
players are not your foes to beat
but teammates of a bigger plan

Your hand is the hand that you've dealt yourself
You can deal in the spirit of play
lend your hand to another
and the chips will be coming your way

We throw our hands together
to clean this table we call earth
our children are the stakes we raise
their freedom will show our worth

The children are the future players
with our wisdom in their hand
they carry forth the vision
of a straight and fruitful land

Your hand is the hand that you've dealt yourself
your deal can be much bigger today
lend your hand to the whole dammed universe
and now you have some room to play

When the house is full of players
and the cheaters deeds are exposed
we’ll have this joker’s number
he’s the victim who’s lost his clothes

When the joker’s club has been taken
and our spades are busy clearing this earth
a pot full of diamonds is on it’s way
with freedom of a hearts new birth.

We'll know when this game is over
we'll be flush with kings and queens.
we'll be the royal families
our pockets full of dreams

Your hand is the hand that you've dealt yourself
Your cards are your own clay
victims are the folders of the universe
Aces are the molders of play
