I know a story, and if you lend me an ear and a halfway open mind You may discover something about yourself "I see you're distracted," said the carnival master and pointed down to the broom I should have been pushing And he gently took me aside, and said:
Every task before you is a challenge to succeed
Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment Like every breathe is a step to forever Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment boy If you don't give up, give up, you don't give it up
I remember in passing But the fool that I was couldn't see for the next ten years Until I discovered, like waking up from a dream Instead of a master, or the flying trapeze I was down here pushing a broom and watching the actors And I heard again his words
Every choice before you was a challenge to succeed
Oh, oh, oh moment to moment And every breathe is a step to forever Oh, oh, oh moment to moment boy If you don't give up, give up, you don't give it up
And it's too late, is it too late to remedy? Will you teach me? Will you teach me?
