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?
