Lyrics

Everyday you must say: "So how do I feel about my life?" Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes When will you accept yourself?
"I am sick and I am dull and I am plain How dearly I'd love to get carried away Oh, but dreams have a knack of just not coming true And time is against me now Oh, who and what to blame?"
Oh, anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes When will you accept yourself? For Heaven's sake
Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Everyday you must say: "Oh, how do I feel about the past?" Others conquered love but I ran I sat in my room and I drew up a plan Oh, but plans can fall through and so often they do And time is against me now And there's no one left to blame"
Oh, tell me when will you When will you accept your life The one you hate?
For anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Everyday you must say: "Oh, how do I feel about my shoes They make me awkward and plain How dearly I would love to kick with the fray But I once had a dream and it never came true And time is against me now Time is against me now" And there's no one but yourself to blame
Oh, anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Anything is hard to find For Heaven's sake
Anything is hard to find When you WILL NOT open your eyes When will you accept yourself?
When? When? When? When?
