Opportunity

by Imogen Heap

Hardships faced. We've been disgraced.
Our plans for the land are degraded by menacing hands.
But history's compelling us, telling us to do it all again.
As far as I can see, everything that we had believed
is more true now than ever before.
If the truth be known, we would do it all again.
We got low, down in Mexico.
It seems so far after having been so close.
We got low, down in Mexico.
We lost everything except the things that matter most.
Bureaucracy and hypocrisy are contagious and make us all victims eventually.
You can take my life from me, but we will do it all again.
The seeds of truth will grow.
The people will know of the visions that we have endeavored to show.
And like the river we will flow.
We Will do it all again.
Faceless men who represent no idea or purpose intend
to prevent revolution though revolution,
but we could do it all again.
Even when I die, I hope you won't cry,
for my life has been happily spent in the struggle...
and I love you so I would do it all again.

Opportunity
is a woman she is always with a child
and her babies are beautiful if you saw them you would know what I mean
Opportunity
I love her
I've seen her dancing softer
I've watched her come in closer
I'm in love I welcomed her home
my door I keep open with a guardian near to me we light candle by the window we wait dear for the key
golden copper ring around her
face soft and glowing I see her
come in closer come in closer oh sister daugther mother
don't you see her
reach out touch her
I can see her follow me
golden copper ring face soft and glowing come in closer oh my sister come in closer oh my daughter come in closer oh my mother come n close

I shouldn’t talk back to you
I couldn’t shut my mouth
But it feels much better now
You’re leaving me no questions
You’re giving me no choice
And it feels like hanging on
Walking to the same thing
Does it feel like getting old?
Want to take the wrong direction
A lesson that I can’t be taught
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
In my mind
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Left behind
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Take your time
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Missing mine
I threw a look right to you
I wouldn’t ask to stay
But it feels like getting on
You’re leaving me no question
You gave me too much choice
Now that chance has come and gone
Walking to the same thing
Does it feel like getting on
Want to take the wrong direction
A lesson that I can’t ignore
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
In my mind
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Left behind
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Take your time
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Missing mine
Shout cause I’m not listening
It always pays to tell em twice
I’m too old to get the feeling
But I’m too young to give advice
If I took it as you take it
I’d be dead before I ever got bored
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
In my mind
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Left behind
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Take your time
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Missing mine

by Eric Hutchinson

And so it goes another lonely day
You're saving time but you're miles away
Your fly was drowning in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity
Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent show you always hide
Don't go kid yourself well not today
Satisfaction's not far away
Hold on now your exit's here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but you're here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity
Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along
Hold on now your exit's here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Hold on now your exit's here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see

Opportunity came to my door
when I thought I might need a ride
but I said I'm doing alright
turn around and start to see
Yeah, life is boring- Monday,Tuesday
The machines are roaring-Wednesday,Thursday
Friday, and the rain keeps falling
just like everyday
Time is running-Saturday, Sunday
when there's gonna be some holiday for you?
and time flies, time flies, time flies, time flies
I could be a rich man and I could be a superstar
yeah, what's the aim and what's the plan
please just leave again
Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be all that I wanna be
cause the whole world in my hands is down
and nothing will last
oh bring back the harmony
Sweating, nightmares - no way to escape
no, I can't sleep
I'm going down in a sea of madness
Raging anger- Hell or paradise
deep in my dreams
no escape for you, no escape for me
Time flies-gotta think it over
Time flies-better think again
Time flies-living in the real world
Time flies-or living on the edge
I should be a wise man, don't need to be a superstar
Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be all that I wanna be
cause the whole world is in my hands now
but nothing will last
oh bring back the harmony
What will you do in the dark
the hand of your fate left it's mark
so don't try to argue with me now
Your Hell ain't a bad place to be
take a look at your life now and see
'cause maybe I will not come back
You stand on the edge of the world
your life will be torn into pieces
The hammer is falling
the world is not waiting for you
hey you think that you know what is real
travelling around for no reason
you better watch out and jump off of my cloud
for your own sake
Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be what I wanna be
Set me free, mmh I wanna live it up
and let me be all I wanna be
cause the whole world is in my hands now
and I want it to last
oh
Set me free, yeah
and let me be what I wanna be
the whole world is in my hands now
and I want it to last
Opportunity is me

Opportunity
Came to my door
When I was down
On my luck
In the shape
Of an old friend
With a plan
Guaranteed
Showed me the papers
As he walked me to the car
His shoes
Finest leather
He said
You could wear this style
Follow my advice
He owned a gun
The caliber escaped me
But I noticed
Straight away
It made me itch
Carried an address
With numbers on the back
And an L-shaped
Bar of iron
What's that for
I asked my man
With eyes
Wide opened
And the knowledge in my head
And he said
Opportunity
World wide adventure
Money in the bank
We did the job
The work was so well done
No one saw us coming
Much less leave
But what I dropped
Carried my credentials
And a black & white
Shot of you & me
What's that for
I asked the cop
With eyes of innocence
The knowledge in my head
And he said
Opportunity
World wide adventure
Let me have your hand
