Now isn't soon enough
Later really means never
Clinging to what's in your head
is useless to endevour.
Your efforts went unnoticed
Now you question what they were for.
Just when the chance shows itself
you don't want it anymore.

The opportunities of the day,
they pass me by without a fight
I'll just sit and wait
for someone else to make it right.
Because it's easier to believe
that when I lie down tonight
a light in the dark will come
and make sense of my life.
I pray to God that when I wake
it will all be clear
because another day is gone
and I've still gone nowhere.

Another day gone, and it won't turn around
to come back and pick you up from where it left you
   on the ground.
The opportunity snuck up, and it caught you lying
   down.
It slapped you in the face,
   and you never made a sound.

Don't let the opportunities
pass you by without a fight
You can't just sit and wait.
No one else can live your life.
The hands of fate can't be trusted
Chances don't just appear
Another day is gone.
Why are you still sitting here?
