Cover art for Opportunity lyrics by Pete Murray

yeah your all pretty right, it's not real hard to work out but i like the songs and the similies in them..... i think there called similies... like

"Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour"

if you took that literally then you'd be like wtf? but he means something else by it. that's a similie right? oh well i like the song. : )

That's not a simile, if you'll ever read this. lol. it's just a contrast.... there's probably some smarter word, some word that i should know...but i don't. lol

I'll think ull find it's called a metaphor

It's actually a pun- A play on words where there is more than one meaning.

I love this song. it is a song that really encourages people to embrase opportunity and change and to not be scared of what lies ahead. definately one of Pete Murray's best.

could anyone tell me why he emphasises the sentence "soon you'll see" does it mean that we will soon see our opportunities fading away and that is why we have to hold on? thanks :)
