There've been times when I have stumbled over my mistakes
There've been times when I have fallen flat on my face
But you tell me there's never been a day like that for you
Then I'll stop and listen to what you think I should do
Now I can take this pressure that you think you're handin' down
So take off the robe and put the gavel down
'Cause nothin' changes in this life but everything my friend
Don't come cryin' 'bout today because of what had been
(Chorus)
Opportunity is for the taking
Look inside yourself, you'll see
Then go clean up your own backyard
Leave my yard to me
Now if the cup had really not been meant to pass to me
Surely I would not presume to drink
Ah, but there they are and they're reachin' out for me
What else would you have to think
(Chorus)
There've been times when I have stumbled over my mistakes
There've been times when I have fallen flat on my face
But you tell me there's never been a day like that for you
Then I'll stop and listen to what you think I should do
(Chorus)
There've been times when I have fallen flat on my face
But you tell me there's never been a day like that for you
Then I'll stop and listen to what you think I should do
Now I can take this pressure that you think you're handin' down
So take off the robe and put the gavel down
'Cause nothin' changes in this life but everything my friend
Don't come cryin' 'bout today because of what had been
(Chorus)
Opportunity is for the taking
Look inside yourself, you'll see
Then go clean up your own backyard
Leave my yard to me
Now if the cup had really not been meant to pass to me
Surely I would not presume to drink
Ah, but there they are and they're reachin' out for me
What else would you have to think
(Chorus)
There've been times when I have stumbled over my mistakes
There've been times when I have fallen flat on my face
But you tell me there's never been a day like that for you
Then I'll stop and listen to what you think I should do
(Chorus)
