Intro hook music theme
Chorus
I had it all right there right in the palm of my hand
And I let it slip away cause I did not take a stand
Verse
I tight rope at the top stare deep down over the ledge
I didn't get there overnight now home is on the edge
Some men were made to rise some were made just to fall
And I think about the dive but it's just to hard to make that call
Ummm ring it out
Hook music theme
Chorus
I had it all right there right in the palm of my hand
And I let it slip away because I did not take a stand
Verse
To die in a crowd of loneliness is the saddest though of all
When dreams fade in a deep dark sleep will they ever hear you call
The mind is a thing that never sleeps & I need a big piece of it now
The noise a lonely teardrop makes will be heard by you somehow
Chorus
I had it all right there right in the palm of my hand
And I let it slip away because I did not take a stand
I had it all right there right in the palm of my hand
And I let it slip away because I did not not understand
Hook music theme fade out
