THE OPPORTUNITY

There will come a time when I get weary
There will come a time when I can't see
Even when I close my eyes 
See what you done to me
There will come a time when I'm not speaking
You can take my words and melodies
I could lose a thousand lines
See what you done to me
But who know you'll never, never
Take my heart from me
Thank you for the opportunity

There will come a time when I get angry
There will come a time you make me bleed
I will try to hold you back
To see what you done to me
But who know you'll never, never
Take my heart from me
Thank you for the opportunity

Cuentos en la calle dicen
Como eramos
Y todos escritos
Son verdad, Son verdad…
(Stories on the street will tell you
When you once were mine
I've written every line
They once were true)

There will come a time to seek forgiveness
This could be a long apology
Maybe as the years have gone
You'll see what you done to me
But who know you'll never, never
Change this part of me
Thank you for the opportunity
You need to know you'll never, never
Take this heart from me
Thank you for the opportunity
