Opportunity

keeping the place from crumbling
working against the weather
stopping myself from stumbling
working against the pavement

(chorus)
just a way to get there
a path right through the obstacles
we'll surely find one out there yet
just takes opportunity
just takes opportunity

shaving the hair on my head
working against the time it takes
reading the words off the page and
finding that it means anything
rise up off the floor
working against the gravity
maintain the pace of the stride
with which I exit promptly

(chorus)

(verse 1 X2)

(chorus)

respond without a reply
afraid that's no response at all
keeping the hand in its place
becomes the hardest thing to do
keeping the things that we've found
the ones we like the most of all
the darkness follows swiftly
the light is gone the day is done
the night goes just as quickly
the whole damn thing will pass us by

keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
keep my mind from wandering
