My own song: Play the dice

Today's prompt from Wegohealth for the Health Activist Writers Month Challenge, is about creating your own theme song.
I wrote the lyrics for it. The music to go with it, is a bit harder to grasp. It will be a mix of upbeat which support the message that you're strong, and some guitar swings for the moments that you need to indulge yourself in the sorrows of life. And of course, followed by some uptempo music again, after all, you have to make the best of your life - positive!

Play the dice.

Hey you, strong girl
Keep your feet on the ground, and
Make your dreams real.
Live your life,
Throw the dice.

Dice can roll either way.
Good or bad, day by day,
You're getting new chances
Take them, play the game,
Or watch your life glance away.
Life can be tough,
Life can be great.
Find something you love,
Don't sit around and wait.

One day,
Your body may leave you behind,
Your life may become colourblind,
Your eyes may lose their glance,
Your hips may need to pass a dance,
But another day,
There will be a next chance,
To cry, get up, start over, or laugh and ask for a hand.

Hey you, strong girl,
Keep your feet on the ground, and
Make your dreams real.
Live your life,
Throw the dice.

Hey you, strong girl,
Keep your feet on the ground, and
Make your dreams real.
Live your life.
Throw the dice.

Don't be mad when you have a bad day,
Look up to the sky,
And let the wind take your worries away.
Because you, strong girl,
Keep your feet on the ground, and
Make your dreams real.
You live your life, and
You throw the dice.

You're strong, special and unique.
Think of all that, and take a peek,
In the rest of your dreams.
Follow them, and make your heart stream.
Live your life, and throw the dice.
Live your life, and throw the dice.
Live your life, and throw the dice.
