Burn

You take a wrong turn,
Drop the ball,
fall short.
You labor in vain.
You choke, miss the boat
Bomb out, cave in, fall flat on yoru face.
Yeah that's everyday life,
but sometimes...
You hit a good ?
The stars line up,
your ship comes in,
you make your mark.
You catch a break
and you're sitting on top,
yeah...cream of the crop.
You're the stuff, you set the bar
you beat the odds and there you are.
Spend most of your life
sitting in the dark, waiting your turn.
But every now and then you
burn.
You go awhile in style,
chest out, chin up
You're king for a day.
And then reality hits
like a fist hits you hard,
steals your thunder away.
And when it beats you down,
the wheel spins around.
You hit a good ?
The stars line up,
your ship comes in,
you make your mark.
You catch a break
and you're sitting on top,
yeah...cream of the crop.
You're the stuff, you set the bar
you beat the odds and there you are.
Spend most of your life
sitting in the dark, waiting your turn.
But every now and then you
burn.
Burn like a beacon
Burn like a porch light
Burn like a blue star
Burn like a bonfire
Burn like a flicker in a red hot flame
Burn like a match in a deep dark cave
Like a midnight, mile high blaze
The stars line up,
your ship comes in,
you make your mark.
You catch a break
and you're sitting on top,
yeah...cream of the crop.
You're the stuff, you set the bar
you beat the odds and there you are.
Spend most of your life
sitting in the dark, waiting your turn.
But every now and then you burn.
Yeah you burn.
L:ike a porch light
Like a blue fire
You burn, burn burn burn
