Rossington Collins Band - Opportunity lyrics

There've been times when I Have stumbled over my mistakes And there've been times when I Have fallen flat on my face But you tell me there's never been A day like that for you Then I'll stop and listen To what you think I should do Now I can take this pressure That you think you're handing down But take off the robe And put the gavel down 'Cause nothing changes in this life But everything, my friend Don't go cryin' 'bout today Because of what has been Opportunity is for the taking Look inside yourself, you'll see Then go clean up your own backyard Leave my yard to me Now, if the cup had Really not been meant to pa** to me Surely I would not presume to drink But there they are And they're reaching out for me What else would you have me to think Opportunity is for the taking Look inside yourself, you'll see Then go clean up your own backyard Leave my yard to me There've been times when I Have stumbled over my mistakes And there've been times when I Have fallen flat on my face But you tell me there's never been A day like that for you Then I'll stop and listen To what you think I should do Opportunity is for the taking Look inside yourself, you'll see Then go clean up your own backyard Leave my yard to me
