Matisyahu - Obstacles lyrics

rate me

Obstacles, they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards then fold

Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards

Two steps forward, take one step back

Every time I get on track light fades to black

When the curtain drops back and I step to my destiny

I find my freedom right in front of me

It’s in your eyes, I see when we dance to the beat

And these sweet melodies ride in on a breeze

Trees part for me but these sharks still circle through the park

I look to you

It’s in my nature to listen to you

I ran after you and the lights went blue

Me and you, you and me, share my heart with you

You’re my family now

Obstacles, they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards then fold

Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards

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 kiss

Still running after you through this wilderness

At dawn I track snow through backyards and front lawns

I’m up late, wide awake, I’m reborn as day breaks and gets calm

I look to you

It’s in my nature to listen to you

I ran after you and the lights went blue

Me and you, you and me, share my heart with you

You’re my family now

Obstacles, they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards then fold

Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards then fold

Sifting 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 were my friend

Sifting 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 were my friend

Obstacles, they come and go, that’s the name of the game you know

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards then fold

Can’t give back the time you stole, path unravels, the day unfolds

This life can’t be bought nor sold, play your cards, then fold
