Opportunity (Live @Stork Club) Lyrics


They say in life opportunity comes

Like a woman in search of love

She’ll treat you kind and she’ll treat you right

And in time she will mend your heart

But if you wait and if you doubt

Opportunity comes and goes

Like in the sky the luminous sun

It will slowly turn to dusk

Take up the mantle nobody but you

Its earned in this life not the next

The wheels of reality won’t spin for you

Without some dirt in your hand

And it will not change with a whim of your hand

Sitting in your fancy chair

The doors and new treasures won’t open for you

If you will just sit there and stare

They say in life opportunity comes

in a young man’s questing soul

It’s quick to jump and it’s quick to soar

On a wings of a righteous cause

But don’t be quick to lay it down

Opportunity owes no ties

One day a friend one day a foe

And the crossroads judge us all

Years have past, and still I wonder, where is the opportunity I was promised, as I searched every mountain in my sight

In books of wise men, and in stories of fools, I searched for the answers i knew not.

The scribe keeps record of every detail of our journey, and the huntsman sit there and sighs

“This land is lost” says the ferryman, as we cross the rapids “all you’ll find is ruins and snow”

They say in life opportunity comes in your sword raised high to the sky

No one but you can discover the truth and slay the giants of old

And don’t you let false prophets come and quench your majestic roar

You will break free, and you will sing...

All of life’s everlasting songs
