if you'd seek maybe you'd find
may not all be wasted time
may end right back at square one
but the fool gives in the chance is gone
when there's always a long way home
and there's always more to come
if you'd seek maybe you'd find
try and try might just get by
may get cut back down to size
but the fool can give up anytime
when there's always a long way home
when there's always more to come
are you going to lose it?
are you going to waste it?
are you going to burn it?
are you going to squander it?
