Too Little Too Late

I planned it out perfect

Practiced and rehearsed it

I could see it every time I closed my eyes

Destined to make it

So close I could taste it

Only waiting for the planets to align

Walking in to take it all

But then I slip and fall

I’m at the right place

But at the wrong time

Had my one shot but forgot the line

I’m always stuck in second place

But I know one day I’m gonna win this race

Was on the right track

But took a wrong turn

Made a sure bet and I still got burned

But I’m about to catch a break

So don’t say its too little too late

Watching and waiting

But losing my patience

So I step outside to try and clear my mind

I stare at the sunset

And suddenly get it

All I have to do is make it mine

Walking in to take it all

But then I slip and fall

And I know I got a long long way to go

I know I gotta make it on my own

I gotta stand up for myself

And when I fall I’m gonna get up off the ground

Every minute every hour of every day

I can make it

I’m gonna find a way
