“Oh, How Can I Avoid My Fate?”

I have my issues
Many I can name
I have my issues
Many I can blame
It’s all on me
Life isn’t a game

No, it’s never been a game . . .

So I shall face
Each and every one
That I can name
Nowhere can I run
It’s all on me
Life isn’t a game

No, it’s hard just the same . . .

I must try hard
To avoid these truth’s
I must try hard
To retain my youth
It’s all upon me
No one to blame

No, nothing else can I say . . .

So I must face
These hard truth’s alone
So I must face
Truth’s shall I own
It’s all upon me
It drives me insane

Yes, I’m upon both my knees . . .

(Refrain)

Much time has past
I know the score
My mind does ponder
What’s been done before
Trying to break free
So love can win

So our combined love can win . . .

Today is now gone
Still living life alone
Time has passed by
Lines within a song
I’m running on empty
This truth’s set in

Yes, this truth has set in . . .

My blonde is gray
My frame has grown
My skin has aged
My heart still roams
My dream is alive
My art hidden inside

Yes, my arts hidden deep inside . . .

I keep on dreaming
She will be along
I keep on dreaming
So please sing along
For love has meaning
It’s our true treasure

Yes, life and love’s my aim . . .

Refrain:
Oh, how can I avoid my fate?
Oh, how can I avoid it?
Oh, how can I avoid my fate?
Oh, how can I avoid it?
Oh, I hope I’m not too late!
No, it’s never too late . . .

I have my reasons
I have my fears
I have my dreams
I have my art
I have my heart

Oh, how can I avoid my fate?
Oh, how can I avoid it?
Oh, how can I avoid my fate?
Oh, how can I avoid it?
Oh, I hope I’m not too late!
No, it’s never too late . . .
