I've seen my chances come   And go   How they escape me I'll never know   I've had the answers there in my hand   I just didn't understand   Now lady luck has smiled   At me   And given me another try   To meet up with my destiny   To find a way to fly   Chorus:   I wanna do something right for once in my life   Before it's too late and I give up the fight   Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears   Because I did something right   I see you standing there   By the door   I get the feeling we've been here before   Watching emotions like runaway trains   We shouldn't miss again   But lady luck has smiled   At me   And given me another try   To meet up with my destiny   And do something right   Chorus:   I wanna do something right for once in my life   Before it's too late and I give up the fight   Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears   Because I did something right   I don't wanna sit back   Waiting   As I watch my ship go by   Tomorrow won't wait for you and i   I've seen my chances come   And go   How they escape me I'll never know   I've had the answers there in my hand   Now that I understand
