Opportunity
Pete Murray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're savin' time but you're miles away
Your flowers drowning in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity
Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don't go kid yourself, well not today
Satisfaction's not far away
Hold on now your exit's here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity
Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along
Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Soon you'll see
Pete Murray's song "Opportunity" is about seizing the moment and not letting opportunities pass you by. The lyrics describe the feelings of uncertainty and fear of the future that sometimes hold us back from taking chances. The opening lines, "And so it goes another lonely day, you're savin' time but you're miles away," reflect the struggle of feeling stuck in a routine and not living life to the fullest.
The chorus urges the listener to take hold of their chance and not let it slip away by saying, "Hold on now your exit's here, it's waiting just for you, don't pause too long, it's fading now, it's ending all too soon you'll see." The bridge reminds us that life is short, and we must not be afraid to take chances and make the most of our time on earth.
The final verse concludes the song by stating that our only fear should be the possibility of missing an opportunity. The song encourages listeners to look inside themselves, acknowledge their talents and dreams, and take action to turn them into reality.
Overall, "Opportunity" is a powerful reminder to live life with purpose, seize the day, and not let fear hold us back from achieving our goals and dreams.
