| All my life I’ve been trying to go nowhere fast
|
| I look outside and watch the world go by
|
| But as I look I wonder has all this really passed
|
| And would I still be here the day I die?
|
| Do I really wanna kiss my life goodbye?
|
| It’s been the same old pattern, the life of a fool
|
| It’s not that good but things could be much worse
|
| When someone told me lately the one and only rule
|
| It’s up to me to change my future first
|
| Get up and go find out what it’s worth
|
| The kings and queens look back at me
|
| But what I need are aces in between
|
| The kings and queens are safe and sound
|
| But they won’t help me turn my life around
|
| Only I can turn my life around
|
| Sometimes the old went flying and in came the new
|
| I opened many doors to take a chance
|
| Cowardly I came to senses and never followed through
|
| I always stopped and stayed right where I am
|
| But now I know the world is in my hands
|
| The kings and queens look back at me
|
| But what I need are aces in between
|
| The kings and queens are safe and sound
|
| But they won’t help me turn my life around
|
| Only I can turn my life around
|
| The place where I feel safe will be always in my mind
|
| But to appreciate it all I’ll have to leave that place behind
|
| I’m gonna open up my soul like I’ve never done before
|
| And even if I’m gonna fail I’ll be gaining so much more
|
