If luck could be bought,
And wisdom was taught
We could change our life,
We would get things right
But luck is not sold,
The dice must be rolled
And wisdom is earned,
By the lessons we learn
Chorus:
There are rules in life,
That just won't bend
And they come again,
Until a time they end
Since he formed clay,
Up till our final day
This is how it's been,
Since God made men
Our tears will be cried,
When a loved one dies
We regret words spoke,
And a heart gets broke
With age we'll turn gray,
God hears what we say
All these things and more,
Will knock on our door
Chorus:
There are rules in life,
That just won't bend
And they come again,
Until a time they end
Since he formed clay,
Up till our final day
This is how it's been,
Since God made men
