lyrics

Lyrics

I served my time and I counted the days
the lessons the lectures I wished it away
I had so much planned but I don’t understand
the height deceived me of this wall
but you soon feel it when you fall

Some are consoled by the fact others fail
and get high on somebody’s misfortune tale
I hold up my hand, cos I don’t understand
is this the way its meant to be
so could you please enlighten me

As to what everybody around me is on
is this planet earth I’m still living upon
one day I woke up and my youth was gone but then they say… your life can begin…. starting today

So many times I have played a sad role
left to admire all of those in control
they’re so in command like they don’t understand
any doubts or negativity
they’ve such a great philosophy

I was so low and ideas had I none
outgrew everything and out drank everyone when there is no point and hope has all gone
you know what they say….your life can begin….starting today

Oh believe what they say
you know you can win
so don’t you give in
yer your life can begin…starting today…starting today….ooh yeau yeau yeau yeau…..ooh yeau yeau yeau yeau….ooh yeau yeau yeau yeau…..starting today.
