Here you are on the brink In a moment of doubt Closing in as you sink It's now or never Seconds are ticking Make your move Or forever You will be waiting Do it now before it's too late Some people say A happier time is coming To pass you by in a moment of doubt There's a lump in your throat It's self-inflicted So we laugh as you choke Nobody cares as much as you A moment of glory in your hand You can't take it with you Some people say A happier time is coming The lucky ones Who believe a day in the sun will come Those people say A happier time is coming But you're paralysed In a moment of doubt You've still got your foot in the door Rehearsing your lines in the mirror You practice each day Constructing things to be scared of Things to be scared of Some people say A happier time is coming The lucky ones Who believe a day in the sun will come Those people say A happier time is coming To pass you by in a moment of doubt End
