Could this be my destiny
Or simply serendipity?
Music makes it clear to see
This is my philosophy
A head of my time probably
Yet retro paradoxically
A life full of irony
Lived so enigmatically
Did fate declare this meant to be?
Did Lady Luck smile down at me?
One thing I know with certainty
Music lets my soul fly free
What does it all mean finally?
What’s the secret of ecstasy?
It really is no mystery
The answer comes majestically
Take your opportunities
And make your opportunities
For time and tide wait for no man
Seize the moment grasp the chance
Never with a backward glance
For time and tide wait for no man
