Shooting Star: Last chance [lyrics]

Shooting Star

Last chance

When the stranger came to town

All the people watched with wonder

In their tattered clothes

Gathered 'round and raised their eyes up from the dirt

And the stranger said to them

I have been upon the mountain

I have witnessed forces like cannons

That can ram you to the ground

Stand up your feet

'Cause your life is short as hell

You could be dead tomorrow

Today may be you're last chance

To believe in yourself

Your last chance to yell

Your last chance

To be good to yourself

Your last chance

To drink from life's well

In the crowd a voice was heard

Should you get them before

They get you?

Should we strike the first blow?

He said,

No, no, no, you don't understand

The enemy is in your heart

Self respect robbed by self content

Look across the country

All the people with their dreams

Dead in their hearts

Stand up your feet

'Cause your life is short as hell

You could be dead tomorrow

Today may be you're last chance

To believe in yourself

Your last chance to yell

Your last chance

To be good to yourself

Your last chance

To drink from life's well

And drink from the well

It could be you're last chance

To believe in yourself

Your last chance to yell

Your last chance

To be good to yourself

Your last chance

Drink from life's well
