Shot at the Top

by Opus

on Will You Ever Know Me (1988)

Here I am with a pile of papers
There's some letters to be sent
Every day wasting lots of time
See no sense, see no end

And you know, it can't be forever
You have the wish to make a change
Really want, want to get it better
It's just a step to rearrange

Give yourself a move and
Do what you must do
Your head is full of notions
So it's time to make them true
Give yourself a move
Don't be afraid, it will be good
For you

You've a shot at the top
You could be there
If you are ready
It's a shot to the top
'Cause now is the time
To be on your way

Ask a kid you get some education
Only subjects they decide
Teaching you to be an average person
What to do to survive

No one's asking for your passion
That you sometimes have to hide
They take away your imagination
That you need to feel alive

Give yourself a move and
Do what you must do
Your head is full of notions
So it's time to make them true
Give yourself a move
Don't be afraid, it will be good
For you

You've a shot at the top
You could be there
If you are ready
It's a shot to the top
'Cause now is the time
To be on your way

You've a shot at the top
You could be there
If you are ready
It's a shot to the top
'Cause now is the time
To be on your way

You've a shot at the top
You could be there
If you are ready
It's a shot to the top
'Cause now is the time
If you just believe
You're on your way

A shot at the top
You could be there
If you are ready
It's a shot to the top
