Opportunity

I met a guy who told me something new
Close your eyes to get a different view
Cause real life is what you want it to feel like
It doesn't have to be it doesn't have to be like
The way it used to be
Just find the time to stop and breathe
And try to smile when things are going all wrong cause
There's always something to there's always something to learn

So I'll think about the time
When I just ignored the signs
And I came home alone to find
My home destroyed

There's no guarantees and life owes you nothing
So I'll just hold on to the one thing
That I can depend on
That there's always a lesson
When I fall down I won't just get up I'll
Tie my laces and keep an eye on the ground
Cause I won't make the same mistake twice
And ain't that what life's about

I met a girl and I settled down
She was my world I had no doubt
I bought her rings and I bought her pearls
But ain't a thing can keep a girl, that can be bought
And I know that now
I should have fought to keep her round
But now she's gone and it's time to move on so
I'll be fine on my I'll be fine on my own

And I wish I'd spent more time
With the ones who've said goodbye
Cause ain't nothing as precious as life
So I'll remember

There's no guarantees and life owes you nothing
So I'll just hold on to the one thing
That I can depend on
That there's always a lesson
When I fall down I won't just get up I'll
Tie my laces and keep an eye on the ground
Cause I won't make the same mistake twice
And ain't that what life's about

Now I see the warning signs
Cause they're the same as the ones
That I see every time
Now I know how to avoid mistakes
Cause I've had my pain
And now I see that every day's an
Opportunity
To learn and grow because

There's no guarantees and life owes you nothing
So I'll just hold on to the one thing
That I can depend on
That there's always a lesson
When I fall down I won't just get up I'll
Tie my laces and keep an eye on the ground
Cause I won't make the same mistake twice
And ain't that what life's about

Cause there's no guarantees and life owes you nothing
So I'll just hold on to the one thing
That I can depend on
That there's always a lesson
When I fall down I won't just get up I'll
Tie my laces and keep an eye on the ground
Cause I won't make the same mistake twice
And ain't that what life's about
