Rise To The Occasion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've been down the dark detours
You have seen most of it all
Crashed into the million faces
But never listened to them talk
You've got so much on your mind right now
It doesn't even help to try to solve them all
You used to smile when hope and a pat on the back
Would last throughout the day
As the rain kept falling down on you
You wouldn't let them wash the feeling away
Hope itself dried out in you as you heard your man walking away
Without a word
You thought
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
In case you didn't know I really care for you
I just wish you all the best
And if love should come and knock on your door
I hope it treats you with respect
I cannot count the times I've seen you
Oh just slipping away with a broken heart
You thought
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
No no no
Everybody is going away, I'm barely hanging on
No no no
Do not lovers seek me, what am I doing wrong?
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
Who's gonna make my decisions, I can't make them on my own
Who's gonna rise to the occasion when there is no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me, I dont believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever, well it aint gonna be him
