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
