"Obstacles" lyrics - MATISYAHU

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life's can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards and fold

It's like 2 steps forward one step back
Every time I get on track the light fades to black
When the curtain drops back and I step to my destiny
See it right in front of me it's in your eyes
Dancin' to the beat and these sweat melodies ridin' on this breeze, trees part of me
But these sharks keep circle'n in the park

I look to you
It's in my nature since a youth
I ran after you and lights went blue
Me and you, you and me
I share completely my heart, you're my family

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life's cn't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then...

Once upon a time I ran to you
Banned myself to find your wealth and return to the land of truth
Found myself all alone as the stars they kissed
Still runnin after you through this wilderness
At dawn I tracked snow through back yards and front lawns
I'm up late wide awake I'm reborn as day breaks and gets on...

...To you
It's in my nature since a youth
I ran after you and lights went blue
Me and you, you and me I share my heart with you, you're my family

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life's can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold

Sift in through the sand
A man is just a man
No matter how you fan the flame
It all comes out the same
In the end you are my friend
