Trying Again

They say when u ride a horse and fall, you ride again
They say when you gamble and lose, you play again
They say when life knocks you down, you rise again.

But what if that was your last ride
What if that was your last dime
What if it was your last rise

Everynight i atone for my sins
I pay for my misgivings
So i can sleep with saints

Every morning i wake afresh
With temptation to test
The extent of my strength

But this world doesnt take hostages
Life takes no prisoner
It is heaven or hell no detention
There is no bail out, no probation
