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
